The Italian resistance movement (Template:Lang-it or just Template:Lang) is an umbrella term for Italian resistance groups during World War II. It was opposed to the forces of Nazi Germany as well as Nazi Germany's Italian puppet state regime, the Italian Social Republic, especially following the German invasion and military occupation of Italy between September 1943 and April 1945, (though the resistance to the Fascist Italian government began even prior to World War II). Known as partisans (Template:Lang-it), the brutal conflict they took part in is referred to as the Italian Liberation War (when referring to the part they took in the Italian Campaign against the Germans and the rest of the Axis) or as the Italian Civil War (when referring specifically to their conflict with Italian Fascists). The modern Italian Republic was declared to be founded on the struggle of the Resistance.
