Did Croatia build concentration camps for the Nazis?

Yes. The Independent State of Croatia was formed by Hitler and lead by the fascist Ustaše regime. They built several concentration camps in order to exterminate Serbs, Jews, Roma and antifascist Croats. The most infamous of them all was Jasenovac camp where at least 100.000 people died, mostly Serbs. However, it is worth noting that the Ustaše regime was not a democratically elected government of Croatia and that most Croats joined the antifascist partisan movement against the Ustaše regime. Former Answer: The Nazi puppet state of Croatia was steeped extreme nationalism and in superficial (Roman Catholic) religiosity. It was characterized by a deep seated hatred of the Serbs and of course the Jews. The Croatian government of the day needed no prompting from the Nazis to commit mass murder.

Was Italy neutral during WW2?

The Antifascist National Liberation War of the Albanian people started with the people's resistance against fascist aggressionon April 7, 1939 and ended on November 29, 1944. During the antifascist national liberation war, the Albanian people fought against Italy and Germany, which occupied the country one after the other. In 1939-1941 period, the antifascist resistance was led by communist groups and later by the Communist Party.The partizans entirely liberated Albania from German occupation on November 29, 1944. The Albanian partisans also liberated Kosovo,part of Montenegro and southern Bosnia and Herzegovina.National Liberation Army consisting of up to 70 thousand people, also took part in the war alongside the antifascist coalition. Albania was part of Allied forces and for the Albanians this is the proudest moment on their history. However, Albanians had fought alongside Axis forces during the 1940 Italian invasion of Greece from Albanian territory. The invasion force included several hundred native Albanian and Chams in blackshirt battalions attached to the Italian army. Their performance however was distinctly lackluster, as most Albanians, poorly motivated, either deserted or defected. Indeed, the Italian commanders, including Mussolini, would later use the Albanians as scapegoats for the Italian failure. These two Albanian battalions, namely, battalion Tomorri and Gramshi, were formed in the Italian army only three months before the invasion, and during the Greco-Italian War, the majority of them crossed to the Greek Army. The leader of these two battalions, Spiro Moisiu, would become the general in chief of the Albanian Anti-Fascist Army, and eventually a head of the Albanian Army after the war.

Who were the key people involved in the fall of the Berlin wall?

The building of the Berlin Wall was ordered by East German leader Walter Ulbricht, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, SED).The man given the responsibilty of overseeing the building of the wall was Erich Honnecker, the Central Committee secretary for security matters. In official SED-jargon the wall was referred to as antifaschistische Schutzwall - antifascist barricade.Ironically, Honnecker was the leader of East Germany when the wall was finally breached on November 9 1989 and opened to unrestricted traffic, marking the beginning of the end of the wall.Following the reunification of Germany Honnecker fled to the Soviet Union, but was extradited back to Germany where he faced charges in relation to the deaths of East Germans, who had illegally attempted to leave East Germany (as de facto head of the GDR from 1971, Honnecker was responsible for maintaining the border guards' shoot-to-kill orders in repsect of people attempting to flee the country. From 1961 to 1989, a toatal of 192 people were killed attempting to escape). At his trial, Honnecker admitted "political responsibility" for the deaths but denied any "legal or moral responsibility". The trial was eventually halted as Honnecker was dying of cancer and in January 1993 he left the country to live in exile in Chile. Honnecker died on 29 May 1994, having never shown any remorse for the victims of the wall.

What is ghettoization?

a part of the city set aside as a residential area for Jews. The designation "ghetto" appeared in the 16th century (apparently from Italianghetta-the cannon workshop around which the Jewish quarter of Venice, set up in 1516, was situated). However, ghettos existed in many medieval European cities prior to that date (the best-known ghettos were in Frankfurt am Main, Prague, Venice, and Rome).The settling of Jews in ghettos originally was in keeping with the corporate order characteristic of the Middle Ages, when every professional or religious group lived in isolation, but in the 14th and 15th centuries it became compulsory. Residents of the ghetto were forbidden to leave it at night (the ghetto gates were locked for the night). Life within the ghetto was regulated by the wealthy upper-class members of the Jewish community and by the rabbinate. A legacy of the Middle Ages, the ghettos disappeared in the first half of the 19th century (the Roman ghetto was permanently abolished only in 1870). There were no ghettos in tsarist Russia. Only in a few cities annexed to its territory when Poland was partitioned (late 18th century) was there a restriction on the right of Jews to live outside streets assigned to them; this restriction was ended in 1862.During World War II (1939-45), in a number of Eastern European cities under fascist German occupation, the Nazis created ghettos that were essentially huge concentration camps in which the Jewish population was destroyed. The armed uprisings of the prisoners of the Warsaw ghetto in 1943 and the Białystok ghetto in August 1943 were part of the national liberation struggle of Poland's antifascist forces.The term "ghetto" is sometimes used to designate a section of the city inhabited by national minorities that are subject to discrimination (for example, Harlem, "Negro ghetto" in New York).

Why did war break out in Croatia?

After World War 1, (then known as Great war) Croatian nationalism was at it's most extreme. Croats were angry because of injustice after losing Great War. They were forced into The First Yugoslavia, which was actually a Serb dominated monarchy, which worked to completely erase Croatia and Croats were brutally humiliated. Croatian parties and Croatian nobility were banned. And all that time Alexander spreaded propaganda about Serbia freeing Croatia of Hungarian rule. In the end, the world, and Einstein himself noticed the Croatian suffering.As a result, Croatian extremism and hatred towards Serbs grew and King Alexander I was assassinated by Bulgarian Vlado Chernozemski. The assassination was planed both by Croats and Bulgarians, in order to end the tyranny of King Alexander and weaken Serbia.Bulgarian sources confirm it.It is said that monstrous acts will create monster. So it happened with Germans, and we all know how it ended, and how Germany still feels the consequences.So, here is a real history, backed-up by tons of sources from all around the world, not including communist Yugoslavia or Serbian sources which will led you to believe that Croats joined Axis side unprovoked and that all Croats are nazi cannibal monsters.After Germany conquered Yugoslavia, IndependentState of Croatia was created. ISoC was actually nazi puppet regime, led by Ante Pavelic and his Ustasha elite which was somehow similar to SS and Gestapo combined. Of course, after almost thousand years of Hungarian rule (ever since the fall of Croatian kingdom), and decades of Serbian tyranny (after fall of Austro-Hungary), Croats hapilly cheered the Nazis, without actually knowing who or what Nazis were. So, that's why Croatia unquestionably joined the war, seeing Germany and Hungary as historical allies. That's how Independent State Of Croatia(also known as NDH) was born.Sources: history and facts of World War 1. And do not forget that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serb Gavrilo Princip, thus starting Great War.There were isolated cases, when individuals joined all three sides. Croatian Homeguard and Ustashe were often in political conflicts, until the end of the war.Sources: Croats and Croatian ancestorsEthnic Croats had only two to three choices at the time:-Join Croatian regular army-Homeguard-Join Croatian elite army-Ustashe-Join Partisans, anti-fascist and Tito-supporting movement, later communist movement.Long story short, WW2 Croatian government killed and persecuted hundreds of thousands of people, most of them Jews and Serbs.Sources: concentration camps in WW2 Croatia, Croat racial laws and extremitstic views of WW2 Croats,And after World War 2, after Croatia was bombed by Allies and pretty much sacked by Tito, Italians and Germans were ethnically cleansed by communist.
