Wikipedia: The Yugoslav Partisans, or simply the Partisans were a Communist-led World War II resistance movement engaged in the fight against Axis forces and their collaborators in Yugoslavia during the Yugoslav People's Liberation War (being part of World War II) from 1941 to 1945. The Partisans, led by Marshal Josip Broz Tito, were a communist faction, the main goals of which were the liberation of Axis-occupied Yugoslavia and establishment of a communist state. The movement's full official name was People's Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia, (NOV i POЈ) The common name of the movement is "the Partisans" (capitalized), while the adjective "Yugoslav" is used sometimes in exclusively non-Yugoslav sources to distinguish them from other (World War II) partisan movements.
