Background

edit
 
Occupation and partition of Yugoslavia (1941).

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was invaded in April 1941, following the Yugoslav coup d'état. Its territories were partitioned between Italy, Nazi Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania and the Independent State of Croatia, a newly-formed puppet state. With the signing of the Treaties of Rome, parts of Dalmatia, including Split, were annexed by Italy, becoming part of the Governorate of Dalmatia
