Democratic Federal Yugoslavia

Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was the provisional state of the Second World War, created de facto on 29 November 1943 at the second session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, with the National Committee for Liberation as its first executive under Marshal Josip Broz Tito as premier. The Allies recognised it at Tehran, with the AVNOJ as its deliberative body, while the royal government sat powerless in London. The London government-in-exile of King Peter II, pressed by Britain, recognised the AVNOJ government de jure in the Treaty of Vis of 16 June 1944 between the exiled premier Ivan Subasic and Tito, and the two agreed to merge into a provisional government as soon as possible, in the form settled by their second agreement of 1 November 1944 in liberated Belgrade. That provisional government sat from March 1945, and in November the state became the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.
