NIKŠIĆKI SREZ U USTANKU 13. JULA I ANTIFAŠISTIČKOJ BORBI (JUL – DECEMBAR 1941)
Nikšić District in the 13th July Uprising and the Anti-Fascist Fight (July - December 1941)

Summary/Abstract: Preparations for the fight against the Italian occupier in the County of Niksic started almost immediately after the April War was over, when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was defeated by the superior enemy, and its territory was occupied and divided between Germany (Third Reich), Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria. The territory of the then County of Niksic had an immense geostrategic position. The County of Niksic covered a large area of 2.118 km2 with approximately 45.000 inhabitants and with the region of Durmitor and western Boka it represented a unique geopolitical and operational territory. This region made a link between the National Liberation Movement of Montenegro with the same Movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Sandzak (Raska) and Serbia. After the initial successful battles against the Italian occupier in the Uprising of 13th of July, and the temporarily suppressed uprising in the middle of August 1941 by the occupier, there were no battles in the County of Niksic until the end of October 1941 when battles and diversions gained momentum again. The experience gained in July and August against the occupier was valuable in further development of the anti-fascist movement and the fights which continued at the time.
