Why was the Spanish Civil War so important for the later development of the partisan movement and how did the partisans come to be. The partisan movement was the strongest organized armed resistance in Europe during the Second World War. But how did the war even happen? In the 1930s, Nazism and fascism grew stronger in Europe, people and movements with dangerous intentions came to power, and the great powers did not understand the scale of the changes. Among the political parties, the Communist Party with its headquarters in Moscow is spreading its influence across the continent, but what was it really like in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia? Why was the Spanish Civil War so important for the later development of the partisan movement and how the partisans were created, see in the first episode of the series.

In 1941, Hitler attacked Yugoslavia, after which that country capitulated. Its institutions are falling apart, and it is also falling apart territorially into several parts. The Chetnik movement emerged from the remnants of the royal army, and the Partisan movement under the leadership of communist activists. Both initially declared themselves as resistance movements to the German occupation, but from the beginning they found no room for cooperation ideologically. We explore who attracts more people to their ranks and what their goals are in the second episode of the series.
