The Second World War caused a split in Slovenian politics, which divided into two camps. The occupier divided Slovenian territory and wanted to destroy Slovenian national identity. This triggered the resistance of the OF, which had the goal of liberation. The bourgeois camp, on the other hand, sought solutions in the new world order. This policy led to armed collaboration, which manifested itself in the units of the MVAC and the Home Army. The latter clashed with the partisan army. The desires for armed resistance and a post-war take-over of power that the OF fostered drove many away from it. The anti-communist ideology was also spread by the Slovene Church, which collaborated with the occupiers. Both sides had their own visions for the future of Slovenia and Slovenians, which manifested themselves in different programmes. These visions triggered a conflict that ended with the victory of the national liberation struggle.
