Pád NDH a nástup komunistické strany v Jugoslávii
The Fall of the Independent State of Croatia and the Rise of Communism in Yugoslavia

Summary/Abstract: This text covers the final months of the Independent State of Croatia, this state’s fall, and the subsequent victory of communism in the Yugoslavian region. It aims to show what the eve of the triumph of communism looked like, as well as the imaginary obstacles standing in its way. Foremost among these obstacles were negotiations by the anticommunists in several Yugoslavian countries about a united front against Tito and his ideology. These last attempts to reverse the establishment of a new order, which was supported by conferences of the Great Powers and the sheer power of Tito’s forces, managed for a short time to bring an imaginary unity to such enemies as the Croatian Ustashas and the Serbian Chetniks. However all efforts to reverse the irreversible were futile, and Tito, who had international support, could eliminate his enemies, both real and merely imagined, and establish a new path for Yugoslavia: the path of communism.
