Outcome (and Settlement): Joins ongoing war (None)

Narrative: In early March 1940, Germany began supporting the Frankists in Yugo-
slavia, hoping to use the threat of a civil war as an excuse to invade. Germany wanted
the copper and zinc from the Yugoslavian mines. On March 30, 1940, Yugoslavia
released seven German barges that had been seized by Yugoslav police on the Danube
because they lacked special transit permits, after a protest by the German Minister,
Victor von Heeren. Five Hungarian barges and 16 more German barges were held in
Yugoslav waters waiting on permits. The German protest was feared to foreshadow
a German push to control the Danube. On April 6, 1941, Nazi troops invaded Yugo-
slavia. Several reports claimed that Bulgarian forces had joined Nazi troops in the
invasion, but Bulgaria denied the claim. Both Bulgaria and Hungary charged that
Yugoslavian planes had attacked their respective territories.
