In World War II, the Yugoslav Partisans fought against the Axis forces. They steadily gained power during the struggle, winning recognition from the Allies and the Yugoslavian government-in-exile as the legitimate Yugoslav liberation force. The movement grew to become the largest resistance force in occupied Europe, with 800,000 men organized in 4 field armies.
