Day of the Macedonian Uprising

Common card · No. 437855

Day of the Macedonian Uprising is a public holiday in North Macedonia, commemorating the beginning of the National Liberation Struggle against fascism during World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia, on October 11, 1941. According to the Yugoslav Marxist historiography and the Macedonian historiography, the Macedonian uprising against fascism began on this day in 1941, lasting until late 1944. It has been celebrated as a national holiday since 1945 in then-Democratic Federal Macedonia as part of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia. Although this event was proclaimed a historical turning-point in Macedonian history, its results were unfavorable. The celebration of the holiday has been criticized by the Macedonian Patriotic Organization and in Bulgaria as anti-Bulgarian.
