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 was modified to describe one of these people being buried under the shade (15[1])of a beautiful flower. (15[1])A stadium renamed for these people in 1989 was originally built for Yugoslavian youth rallies; that stadium was purchased by a (*) sports club named for its (-5[1])foundation by these people. The folk song “Bella Ciao” was rewritten to commemorate these people, (10[1])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■
