Round 7: Tossup 1

Specific term required. In one country, a kind of these people called gappisti established short-lived, self-governing free zones. A song that may have originated among rice paddy workers (-5[1])was modified to describe one of these people being buried under the shade of a beautiful flower. A stadium renamed for these people in (15[1])1989 was originally built for Yugoslavian youth rallies; that stadium was purchased by a (*) sports club named for its foundation by these people. (10[1])The folk song “Bella Ciao” (10[1])was rewritten (-5[1])to commemorate these people, who formed groups like the Garibaldi Brigades after the Badoglio (“buh-DOH-lyoh”) Proclamation. In another country, groups of these people received little Western help defeating the Chetniks and Ustaše during World War II. For 10 points, give this term for Yugoslavian (10[1])anti-fascist fighters led by General Tito. ■END■ (10[2])
