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 of a beautiful flower. 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 foundation by these people. The folk song “Bella Ciao” was rewritten 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 anti-fascist fighters led by General Tito. ■END■
