This holiday in Croatia, also called Anti-Fascism Day, dates back to the Second World 
War.

After Nazi Germany invaded and conquered Yugoslavia in 1941, Croatia became a 
German puppet state under a government of Croatian fascists, called the Usta e. 

One of the resistance groups that sprang up to oppose the fascist government was called 
the Partisans. 

It was headed by a half-Croatian Communist leader called Tito (his real name was Josip 
Broz), who later appointed himself president for life of Yugoslavia.

Anti-Fascist Resistance Day is a national holiday in Croatia. 

Like most warm weather holidays in the country, it is celebrated with outdoor barbeques 
and fireworks.
