Ustaše: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

The Ustaša achieved its goal after the [[Axis Powers]] invaded and partitioned Yugoslavia in April 1941. Pavelić then returned to Croatia and, under the sponsorship of the Italians, formed the government of a Croatian state that had been expanded to include some of Serbia and all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Ustaša also conscripted an army to join the Axis Powers and to fight the resistance movements that were beginning to operate in the Yugoslav lands. To make their state more purely Croatian, the Ustaše set about exterminating its Serb, Jewish, and Gypsy inhabitants with a brutality that shocked even the Germans and occasionally obliged the Italians to intervene. Although many Yugoslavs reacted to their brutality by joining the resistance movements, the Ustaša remained in control of Croatia until May 1945, when the German army protecting them collapsed and Pavelić and his supporters fled before the Yugoslav Partisans lead by [[Josip Broz Tito]].
