People's Liberation Front (Yugoslavia)

People's Liberation Front (Yugoslavia)

The Unitary People's Liberation Front (Serbo-Croatian: Jedinstveni narodnooslobodilački front, JNOF) or simply the People's Liberation Front (sometimes referred to as the National Liberation Front), was a World War II political organization and movement headed by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) that united all political parties and individuals of the republican, federalist, and left-wing political spectrum in occupied Yugoslavia. The Front served as political backing to the Yugoslav resistance movement, the Partisans. In 1945 with Partisans winning the war, the Unitary People's Liberation Front was reorganized and renamed the People's Front (Narodni Front, NOF). Under this name the Front won the post-war Yugoslav elections, after which it was soon renamed into Socialist Alliance of Working People of Yugoslavia (Socijalistički savez radnog naroda Jugoslavije, SSRNJ).
