Tito
The Partisan Army, led by Tito, also known as Josip Broz, was arguably one of the most successful uprisings in history. It was just one of the numerous insurgent organizations known collectively as the Yugoslav Partisans that appeared all over Yugoslavia following Nazi occupation in 1941. But towards the conclusion of the conflict, the Partisan Army in particular had become a significant obstacle for the Nazis.
Numerous strategies were used by Tito's Partisans to weaken the Nazis, including the publication of revolutionary literature to encourage other Yugoslavians to support their cause. After the war was over, Tito continued to lead the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as its de facto leader until his passing in 1980.
