From the start and until 1943, the Chetniks, who fought in the name of the London-based King <a href="/wiki/Peter_II_of_Yugoslavia" title="Peter II of Yugoslavia">Peter II</a>'s Yugoslav government-in-exile, enjoyed recognition and support from the Western Allies, while the Partisans were supported by the Soviet Union. </p><p>At the very beginning, the Partisan forces were relatively small, poorly armed, and without any infrastructure. But they had two major advantages over other military and <a href="/wiki/Paramilitary" title="Paramilitary">paramilitary</a> formations in former Yugoslavia: the first and most immediate advantage was a small but valuable cadre of <a href="/wiki/Yugoslav_volunteers_in_the_Spanish_Civil_War" title="Yugoslav volunteers in the Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War veterans</a>. Unlike some of the other military and paramilitary formations, these veterans had experience with a modern war fought in circumstances quite similar to those found in World War II Yugoslavia. In Slovenia, the Partisans likewise drew on the experienced <a href="/wiki/TIGR" title="TIGR">TIGR</a> members to train troops. </p><p>Their other major advantage, which became more apparent in the later stages of the War, was in the Partisans being founded on a communist ideology rather than <a href="/wiki/Ethnicity" title="Ethnicity">ethnicity</a>. Therefore, they won support that crossed national lines, meaning they could expect at least some levels of support in almost any corner of the country, unlike other paramilitary formations limited to territories with Croat or Serb majority. This allowed their units to be more mobile and fill their ranks with a larger pool of potential recruits. </p><p>While the activity of the <a href="/wiki/Macedonians_(ethnic_group)" title="Macedonians (ethnic group)">Macedonian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Slovenes" title="Slovenes">Slovene</a> Partisans was part of the Yugoslav People's Liberation War, the specific conditions in Macedonia and Slovenia, due to the strong <a href="/wiki/Autonomism_(political_doctrine)" title="Autonomism (political doctrine)">autonomist</a> tendencies of the local communists, led to the creation of separate sub-armies called the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Liberation_Army_of_Macedonia" class="mw-redirect" title="People's Liberation Army of Macedonia">People's Liberation Army of Macedonia</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Slovene_Partisans" title="Slovene Partisans">Slovene Partisans</a> led by the <a href="/wiki/Liberation_Front_of_the_Slovene_People" class="mw-redirect" title="Liberation Front of the Slovene People">Liberation Front of the Slovene People</a>, respectively. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723,_Marburg-Drau,_Adolf_Hitler.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg/220px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg/330px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg/440px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_121-0723%2C_Marburg-Drau%2C_Adolf_Hitler.jpg 2x" data-file-width="798" data-file-height="546" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a> in <a href="/wiki/Maribor" title="Maribor">Maribor</a>, Yugoslavia in 1941.

The <a href="/wiki/Second_Enemy_Offensive" class="mw-redirect" title="Second Enemy Offensive">Second Enemy Offensive</a> was a coordinated Axis attack conducted in January 1942 against Partisan forces in eastern Bosnia.
