Slovene National Liberation Front

The Slovene National Liberation Front was a resistance group that emerged in Slovenia after the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. Following Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, the Front came under the leadership of the communist party. Operating from forest bases, they engaged in operations against the Axis occupiers and their Slovene collaborators, while also contending with rival groups. In 1943, the Front joined Josip Broz Tito's Partisans and helped proclaim a new Yugoslavia. Ljubljana was liberated in May 1945. The term "National Liberation Front" has also been used by other nationalist, often socialist, movements in various countries, such as Greece, Vietnam, Algeria, Uruguay, the Philippines, and Corsica. The Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia was an umbrella organization established by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia during World War II to coordinate Partisan military campaigns and administrative activities.123
