The Montenegro Uprising (1941) - The FIRST Major Uprising Against the Axis during World War II
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The 13 July Uprising of 1941 in Montenegro was a significant anti-Axis rebellion during World War II. This uprising marked the first large-scale revolt against Axis forces in Europe, occurring in the Italian-occupied territory of Montenegro. The rebellion erupted on July 13, 1941, spurred by local resistance against the harsh occupation policies and inspired by the Soviet Union's fight against Nazi Germany. Organized primarily by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, the uprising mobilized a wide spectrum of Montenegrin society, including communists, nationalists, and former royalists. The insurgents rapidly gained control over numerous towns and villages, disrupting Italian communications and capturing weaponry and supplies. Within a short time, large areas of Montenegro were temporarily liberated from Italian control. However, the Italian forces responded swiftly and brutally. By the end of July, with reinforcements from Albania and aerial support, they launched a severe counter-offensive. The repression involved mass executions, village burnings, and widespread arrests, leading to significant casualties among the rebels and civilians. Despite being quashed, the 13 July Uprising had a lasting impact. It symbolized the deep-seated resistance to fascism in Montenegro, providing a crucial morale boost and operational experience for the Yugoslav Partisans, who continued to resist Axis forces throughout the war.

Another bullsh1t video from a fake historian
@@da1vinci1edi You would be more useful explaining the suposed historic mistakes of the video first. After that, you may gain reputation to peacock yourself, boasting that Stefan is a fake historian.
Pa normalno da je lažan povjesničar kad je deklarirani četnik i pristran srbima koji su bili kolaboraciska nacija nacista pod Nedićem

I am a good friend with Prince Alexander in Belgrade Serbia 🇷🇸
I love listening to your show especially when you highlight my homeland Yugoslavia.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for highlighting often-overlooked pieces of history. Many heroic deeds have been ignored, but I can count on your channel to bring them to light.
@@kyleb3754 thanks for watching.
The heroic struggle of the Yugoslavian people against Nazism has been flagrantly written out of history.
Please explain.

The Queen of Italy at the time was Montenegrin. And she wanted a Petrovic on the throne but the Mihialo Petrovic refused and the ppl revolted

Sorry for the comment section 😅. As you can see, the White-Green divide in Montenegro is still strong. Great video friend🥰
Indeed, I see. But thanks!
this is something a lot of Balkan historians do not want to talk about when it comes to Chetniks. It was NOT a single organization. Instead it was a traditional form of self organization among Montenegrians and Serbs. (and there was even one formed on the island of Krk)
AS such they acted differently. Those in Ravna Gora turned to collaborations, those in Bosnia did not and later joined the Partizans
I made a video about the Chetniks.
There were no Montenegrins in Chetnik groups
another fascinating video about a little known conflict. in a country i think most ppl overlook.. nice job. :)
Many thanks Colin!

Wonderful historical coverage episode and nice work...thank you🙏( History Hustle )channel for sharing
As always my friend, you're welcome.
Collaboration between čhetniks and Italians above all were becouse crimes of Croatian Ustašha forces against Serbian civilians and Italian aspirations on IS Croatian territory. Italians were horrified ustašha crimes against civil Serbian population.
@@aleksandarnikolic2743 talked about that in other videos.
The Italians were foolish to help the Ustaše.
Weird, since there was no Ustasha in Montenegro, yet Đurišić collaborated with them. Not to mention that already in December 1941, Đujić signed an agreement with David Sinčić, Ustasha official who administrated the region in which Đujić had his units. This included Ustasha delivering food, payments and ammo to Chetniks, even payments to Chetnik widows, while Chetniks fought the Partisans.
@@gumdeo Italians were at odds in a territory where the enemy often was the same "friendly" that they armed the day before and were hatred between ethnic groups and clans ran along many lines. It was pure madness.
In Montenegro, there is only Serbian identity. I don't know where the information comes from that Montenegrins are a separate ethnic group. Generally speaking, good work - it is an objective view of history, which is rare in today's world.
@@AMEurope333 Montenegro is a nationality.
@@HistoryHustle Of course, I agree that Montenegrin is a nationality. I reacted because not everyone is familiar with the differences between belonging to an ethnic group and a nation-state, especially in the Balkans where everything is even more complicated.

@@HistoryHustlemontenegro is a state not a nation. They are serbs by ethnicity
Montenegro is a country. It is an independant state where their nationality is serbian
Very good work. Thank you. BZ

Polish didn't had rebellion against Germany and ussr? And have you done a video on Lithuanian ultimatum
The Poles were not the first in a MAJOR uprising. Please see the title.
@HistoryHustle I don't know if it was large enough to be considered "major", but the first uprising against the occupiers on the territory of Yugoslavia took place on the night of June 5-6, 1941 in Eastern Herzegovina. The first liberated territory that no longer fell into the hands of the occupiers until end of the war and the first liberated municipal center in Yugoslavia.
The uprising was a reaction to mass Ustasha crimes in Herzegovina, and the direct cause was one of the most heinous crimes of the entire war, in the village of Korita. The leader of the uprising was the Orthodox priest Radojica Perišić, who later became a Chetnik commander, which is why the uprising itself, in communist Yugoslavia, was neglected in favor of The 13 July Uprising in Montenegro as the first in Yugoslavia.
In the Korfu declaration of 1917 joint state of the Serbia , Montenegro and the Austro-Hungarian South Slavs was agreed upon.
They just didn't made precise which dynasty is going to rule that new country, of the 2 related one: Serbian and Montenegrian .
That issue popped up in the november Podgorica Great Assembly in 1918.
Thanks for sharing.
Who are today Montenegrins?
@@jankovrbaski7085 ?
Even they don't know lol
Mostly Serbs but there are other nationalities that moved into Montenegro recently.
I think that 35 % Montegrins , 35 % Serbs , 30 % Albanians some like these. and a bit of Russians recently.
@@user-pv2gh3qf8z 50% are Serbs, and the other 50% are Croatians, Bosniaks, Albanians, Russians and other minorities.
An excellent video. Thanks for your great work in describing what happened in Montenegro and other parts of Yugoslavia in WW2. Much of this history is not well known, like other countries in Europe at the same time where there is much information. After 1945 Tito imposed total Communist rule, and his biased version of what happened became the official version, with very little information and historical research permitted into the other sides of the story. Very few histories in English and other languages have been written about this since 1945. Balkan history is extremely complex, violent, and tragic on many levels, and only the most serious historians are able to uncover what really happened. Thanks to historians like you, the story is becoming better known, but there is still much more to be told nearly 100 years later.
Thanks for your reply.
The victor always re writes history , Tito always claimed the Chetniks colaborrated with the Nazis , yet it was always the Serbs that were murdered in reprisals , it just does'nt wash.
History is not written by the victors, but written by those with the most consistent and compelling arguments based on the evidence, backed by a healthy dose of rational logic and passion for debate. The key is not to apologize for any side but to take a firm stand for what's right and what's wrong.
Or a quote of Max Miller: “They say 'history is written by the victors,' but in my experience, history is written by those who write stuff down."
Interesting.
👍
Montenegrin population was always Serbian. 🇷🇸
I see.

@@vuk.505srb Thank you.
"Montenegrian" = Ortodox Serbs from Montenegro.
Many claim otherwise.
Thank you for covering this topic, but Montenegrin delegation wasn't present in Korfu. There were Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian delegates.
So called Podgorica Great Assembly was organised by occupational Serbian troops and there is no word about free declaring of Montenegrin people. Also, that meeting in Podgorica was hard violation of Montenegro's constitution from 1905.
Therefore, annihilation of independent Montenegrin state after WWI actually was school example of annexation by neighbour country.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello from Montenegro. Thank you for talking about this. As you can see Serbs have problem because massive uprising hapened in MNE , not in Serbia. It happened only here because we are carved differently.
Thanks for watching!
Uprisings did happen in Serbia so i don’t know what are you talking about
And you are not carved differently you are literally the same people😂
To all serbs who sre claiming in comments that montenegrins are serbs serbia was 550 years under ottoman rule montenegro have 1000 yrs of statehood mne even defeated 2 Byzantine armies send against state od duklja so serbia does not have such rich history and want ours furthermore chetnik collaborators are being rehabilitated in serbia in montenegro that is not the case in 1918 after ww1 serbs moved troops and ocupied montenegro no matter mne saved serbian army retreat at batlle of mojkovac claiming the churches also and banished king nicholas never to return in mne
Bodin, and the Vojisavljevići dinasty, called themselves kings of the Serbs. Raška( later Serbia) also existed during this period.
People who called themselves Montenigers only without mentioning they are Serbs first are laying without shame. Every king of monte negro for centuries called themselves Serbs first from teritory of monte negro. Only comunist called themselves montenegros and lowest people who are gaining some wealth from ruler party in today MN calling themselves montenigros. Few new nation made by gey west Europe are raised originally from Serbian people on Balkan that's why today exists montenigros Muslim bosniaks Macedonians and most of Croatians. They were part of Serbians who can be bought for little money greedy not trusty people who betrays their own soul for power and western money. Luckily that part of Serbs who are calling themselves montenigros Croats bosniaks Macedonians left their ancestry roots and now Serbs are clean of not worthy people and without them we are proud and brave and we got future. Rest of them are just puppets who are slaves to Americans and Germans and that's what they deserve to be lowest of low and that's how west treats them. We Serbs knows better and we will never be slaves or someone's puppets.
@@barraganimperator4420 Montenegro is a Nato country and soon Kosovo will be too. 😂 Stay Big MAD, Stay Big Salty
Serbia’s a micro state in decline. By 2050, Serbia’s population will be less than 4.5 million. And half the population of Serbia in 2050 will be 50+ years old. It’ll basically just be a poor micro state retirement home.
Failed to show one crucial point. Montenegrins is name for Serb in Montenegro. Montenegrins just means that is local Serb. There is a reason why Montenegro has nickname Serbian Sparta! In present days people who call them self Montenegrins and denies Serbian heritage are followers of Sekula Drljević ideology!
Think other will disagree with you greatly. Which historians claim what you claim?
@@HistoryHustle why would enyone claim that? Its a fact.
Servs are gypos.
Stop stealing other people's history and identity
I don't agree with you. The only legal army on the territory of Yugoslavia was the Yugoslav army in the homeland or popularly known as the Chetniks! The rest under arms were occupiers or terrorists. If it were not for the English and their betrayal and the Red Army (USSR), the communists would not have won. The cooperation of the Serbs with the Italians (in some areas) was a necessary evil in order to save civilians from the Ustaše and the Germans. The first liberated cities in Europe were by the Chetniks. You can't compare the fight between the Chetniks and the partisans, the repression against the Serbs was terrible for a wounded German, 50 civilians, and for a dead 100, no army can handle that, the partisans didn't mind.
Very one sided reply. The Chetniks collaborated and committed mass murder on Muslims in Bosnia.
@@HistoryHustle Let's start with the assumptions that this is true (massacre)! First, in which places was it done, what was the number of victims, and who committed it (you know that there were Serbs and factions that cooperated with the occupier) - why was it committed, who is the source of the information, all Serbs regardless of which organization they belonged to they called Chetniks. We had the misfortune that after the war history was written by communists, do you really believe that they were objective. I would give myself the right to compare Tita with today's Zelenski. Neither of them belong to the people they are destroying physically, spiritually and psychologically.
1:10 the petrovič njegoš dinasty were montenegrin serbs
I see.
If we don't stand up to them they'll walk all over you

Sometimes things get out of hand...
@@HistoryHustle Y have Right but maybe you talk one by one and nice and original People.
The greens all considered themselves Serbs... Look it up. They just wanted njegos to be the royal house of Yugoslavia
I see.
Wrong! The FIRST major uprising was a communist uprising in the city of Sisak, Croatia on the 22nd of June 1941.
@@deniskoscak1735 source?
There is a lot of false infromation in this video.
(1)Montenegro was annexed by serbia after the WW1 with the help of the french (not voted to join) and thats the why the christmas uprising happend , beacuse the serbian goverment tried to remove : Montenegrin Orthodox Chruch , Montenegrin Language , Montenegrin Etnicity.
(2) there is no such thing as "montenegrin četniks" only serbian.
(3) the četniks didn't take part in the 13 july uprising beacuse there were allies with the Nazis and fascists.
(4) During the uprising the četniks were in inactive in the area around Mojkovac and berane which supports the last fact.
This is common knowlegde here in Montenegro , i dont know where you got all of this information from , probably by some poor pro-serbian source
See sources below the video.
This uprising was crushed by germans and their Albanian allies " Vullnetari"
Vullnetari?
We in Montenegro are Serbs. Others are traters.
I see.
What is this thumbnail?? Very misleading. Get that chetnik out he didnt participate in the uprising, some others did tho
He looks representative for a Chetnik.
Montenegro is a nationality? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is.

@infrared2084 Your nauseating attempt to draw attention away from the struggle against Nazism exposes you for what you are, an apologist for fascism.
And you put the photo of serbian cetnik Keserovic on the cover of this video...Keserovic have no connection vith Montenegro, his name is well known of the ethnic cleansing of east Bosnia during 1942.

@@HistoryHustle serbs that live in crna gora. I call them criminals and cowards mainly because of the 300 cows they stole and herded back to crna gora, on their retreat, fleeing the Croatian army. Looting and burning down most houses on their way. They showed their true worth as a military force Then again they showed themselves in Krajina, Vukovar, Škrabinje and off course Srebrenica. 🤮
