Uzice Republic, also known as the "first offensive" is a story about Serbia in 1941 and monitors the emergence and decline of the Uzice Republic. A few months after the German Wehrmacht forced the Yugoslav Royal Army to capitulate in April War, Boro, a Spanish soldier and hardened Communist, is tasked to organize an uprising in western Serbia. Organized resistance is turning into a massive uprising against the occupying forces. Partisans, led by the Communist party, manage to chase the Germans from a huge territory, later known as the Uzice Republic. People gather around the partisans and were soon freed from Bajina Basta, Pozega, Uzice, and Cacak. Supreme headquarters of the partisan army comes to the liberated territory. However, forces loyal to the king have some other ideas. Uzice Republic lasted only 67 days, from 24 September to 29 November 1941, when a bloody and tragic battle on Kadinjaca occurred and the entire labor battalion, fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht and the Chetniks, so the partisans, supreme headquarters, and the people had to retreat to the Sandzak.
