| Summary: | The Second World War involved the conflict of three different ideologies -
democracy, fascism and communism - an aspect in which it was different from
the Great War. This ideological triangle led to various shifts in the
positions, views, and alliances of each of the warring parties. Yugoslavia
with its historical legacy could not avoid being torn by similar ideological
conflicts. During the Second World War a brutal and exceptionally complex war
was fought on its soil. The most important question studied in this paper
concerns the foremost objective of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) -
to carry out a violent change of the legal order and form of government of
the pre-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of
