Territory
The Province of Ljubljana was created on the territory of the Drava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which was split between the Greater German Reich and the Kingdom of Italy in April 1941.
The bulk of its territory is:
- Lower Carniola (except a strip of land along the Sava river, occupied by the Third Reich);
- The eastern portions of Inner Carniola (the present-day municipalities of Logatec, Cerknica, Bloke and Loška Dolina),
- The city of Ljubljana and its southern suburbs. The northern suburbs (Šentvid) were under the occupation of Greater German Reich.
Fascist Italy occupied Marindol, and other villages that previously belonged to the Banovina of Croatia, Milić-Selo, Paunović-Selo, Žunić-Selo, Vukobrati, Vidnjevići and Vrhovci. These villages were annexed to the municipality of Črnomelj as part of Ljubljana Province even if the population of those villages was not and now is not Slovene but Orthodox Serb population. After the war the inhabitants of those areas demanded to be returned under the auspicies of the county of Karlovac in the People’s Republic of Croatia. By the administrative organization of 1947 Marindol and the surrounding villages on the left bank of Kolpa was a local community in the composition of the county of Karlovac. It was still constituent part of the county in the time of 1948 Census. After that complete area is under Slovenian authority. Also parts of Žumberak/Gorjanci area were anexed by Italy to the Ljubljana Province and parts of Gorski kotar mainly in the Čabar area (villages around Prezid), all from what was before then part of the Banovina of Croatia. This was an agreement between the Kingdom of Italy and the Independent State of Croatia on the border between the two Axis states during the Second World War.

Famous quotes containing the word territory:
“When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
“We found ourselves always torn between the mothers in our heads and the women we needed to become simply to stay alive.With one foot in the past and another in the future, we hobbled through first love, motherhood, marriage, divorce, careers, menopause, widowhood—never knowing what or who we were supposed to be, staking out new emotional territory at every turn—like pioneers.”
—Erica Jong (20th century)
“Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
