why is romania included in the combatants section? as far as i know it wasn't involved in any fighting in the balkans in ww2.
It joined in the invasion of Jugoslavia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:5882:8201:9DFC:B593:FC87:E369 ( talk) 12:57, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
It says "The German Invasion of Greece (...) was the direct result and continuation of the Greco-Italian War."
However, the Greeks had pushed the Italians back far behind the Albanian border already by January 1941, four months before the German invasion.
According to Lidell Hart's History of the Second World War, the German invasion was a direct result of the British sending their contingent to Greece in March 1941 - a threat to their southern flank they couldn't ignore, and more so in view of the fact that the 50,000 troops couldn't hope to fend off a serious German effort.
If you subscribe to his view, the above statement is wrong and should read "The German Invasion of Greece (...) was the direct result of Churchill's ill-advised attempt at uniting the Balkan states against Germany" or something like that.-- Cancun771 ( talk) 19:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Fallschirmjaeger Kreta 1941.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

In another wikiarticle it is mentioned that 5 Panzer Divisions participated in this campaign. However, in the Balkan Operations Order of Battle (created and maintained by Dr. Leo Niehorster) the following are mentioned: 5th, 11th, 16th; 8th, 14th; 13th. Can anyone confirm this with a different verifiable source? Thanks, DPdH ( talk) 07:52, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
The tito resistance and the subsequent soviet invasion shouldn't be included here? Uspzor ( talk) 23:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

There has been some edit-warring recently over the use of the term Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). All editors should be aware that this article falls under the ARBMAC discretionary sanctions regime, meaning that any admin can impose discretionary sanctions on editors breaching Wikipedia policies on this article. Please read the naming convention guideline for the Republic of Macedonia at WP:MOSMAC, which reflects the current community consensus is Republic of Macedonia for the state as it exists now, not FYROM except in very specific circumstances which are not met in the context of the edits being made recently, as they are about the current name of the state. Further edit warring will result in a block. No doubt there will be a change to the MOSMAC once the new name of the country is ratified, but until then, we stick with Republic of Macedonia.

The sentence “including... republic of Macedonia” is redundancy. It is also vague because it contains the phrase “most of” and before that the word “areas”. The first editor if he is not from FYROM (biased intention to use disputed name) he tried to describe territory or geographical area. The whole article is a description of the invasion from north to south. For that reason I suggest two solutions. According to WP:MOSMAC a clear disambiguation has to be made using FYROM as country name so the reader is not confused that Yugoslavian invasion included the whole geographical Macedonia which is mostly Greek. In reality Bulgarians took control of some vague territories (or use a map if you like to use Republic of Macedonia) within modern day FYROM. I don’t find the reason to make such a distinction for a region of Yugoslavia since other regions are clearly described and this one is very poorly explained. Second and favorable solution for me is to take out the whole sentence “eastern areas of Yugoslavia, including most of modern-day Republic of Macedonia.” and replace it with “areas of south eastern Yugoslavia.” Vagr7 ( talk) 00:23, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
