The Province of Ljubljana was the central-southern area of Slovenia. In 1941, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Italy, and after 1943 occupied by Nazi Germany. Created on May 3, 1941, it was abolished
During World War II, Nazi Germany and Hungary occupied and annexed the northern areas (brown and dark green areas, respectively), while Italy occupied the vertically hashed black area, including the Gottschee area (the solid black western part had already been annexed by Italy with the Treaty of Rapallo). After 1943, Germany took over the Italian occupational area as well.
