The Particans, or Partisans, were members of resistance movements in various countries during World War II, particularly in Europe. They engaged in guerrilla warfare against occupying forces, such as the Nazis, and aimed to liberate their nations from foreign control. Notable among these were the Yugoslav Partisans, led by Josip Broz Tito, who became a significant force in the anti-fascist struggle. Their efforts contributed to the eventual defeat of Axis powers in various regions.
