Source: Based on information from Documents on German Foreign
Policy, 1919-1945, Arlington, Virginia, 1976.
The Axis invasion caused panic in Yugoslavia, as foreign
occupiers partitioned the country and terrorized its people.
Bloody encounters involved both invading and domestic forces
throughout the four years of war. The Communist-led
Partisans (see Glossary) rose from near oblivion to dominate
the country's
resistance movement. They emerged from the war in firm control of
the entire country.
