Српски устанци 1941. године – обмане и заблуде савезника

Abstract

The author views the insurgent events in Yugoslavia in 1941 synthetically, in the context of domestic military and political relations, and in the light of inter-allied policies. By the title "Serbian Insurrection" itself, the author deviates from the earlier basic stands of Yugoslav historiography about World War II which defined these events by a general Yugoslav denominator. The author shows that the initial relations of the warring sides in the country, essentially conditioned by the policy of the occupier, rendered only the Serbian positions as existential. Such were the nationalistic positions — a reaction to the Croatian and Ustasha pogroms, and the positions condi tioned by an ideological factor — the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY). The avant-garde visions of the letter's goal, did not, in the first few months of the struggle, raise the question of the national-libe ration postulates of the agitated masses.
