Montenegrin National Liberation War

The Montenegrin National Liberation War was a resistance movement during World War II, primarily from 1941 to 1945, when Montenegrins fought against occupying forces, including Axis powers like Italy and Germany, as well as internal collaborationist groups. It involved partisan fighters who aimed to defend Montenegrin independence, sovereignty, and communal identity. The uprising played a vital role in weakening the occupiers and contributed to the broader anti-fascist efforts in Yugoslavia, ultimately leading to the re-establishment of Montenegro's autonomy within a socialist Yugoslavia after the war.
