History

Partisans of different political persuasions normally worked together in local departments of Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale, which coordinated strategy, cooperated with the Allies, administered liberated areas, and appointed new officials. Above all, they organized the uprisings in the northern and central cities, including Milan in 1945-04, which fell to the partisans before Allied troops arrived. In some cities the partisan liberation appeared to be a revolution.
