Communist Retaliation and Persecution on Yugoslav Territory during and after WWII (1943-1950)

Focusing on the aftermath of WWII, the essay examines the repressive actions of communist Partisan forces in Yugoslavia, highlighting their efforts to exact revenge on former adversaries, punish collaborators, and eliminate potential opposition to the emerging socialist state. It synthesizes findings from a master's thesis completed at the University of Vienna in 2002, providing insights into the historical context and implications of these measures on the political landscape of post-war Yugoslavia.
