After the occupation of Yugoslavia, the Slovene territory was soon divided among all four neighbours: Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Croatia. Despite the highly critical situation for the Slovenes, who were divided by over 600 kilometres of occupation borders, organised resistance and the establishment of a joint resistance organisation — the Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation — emerged in April. The organisation outlined and organised resistance against the occupiers and connected with the Yugoslav National Liberation Movement. The contribution depicts the process of organising resistance in Slovenia up to the crucial moment — the inclusion or ratification of the decisions of the Second Session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) at the end of 1943.
