Editing Christmas Uprising (section)

==Aftermath==
Later in the twentieth century, the Christmas Uprising was subject to ideological emphasis in [[Montenegrin nationalism]]. In [[World War II]], one of the earliest leaders of the Greens, [[Sekula Drljević]], invited the [[Italian governorate of Montenegro|Italian occupation of Montenegro]] and collaborated with the [[Independent State of Croatia]] in order to break away from Yugoslavia.

Since [[Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006|Montenegro declared independence from Serbia in 2006]], the Christmas Uprising has been memorialized on polar opposite ends of the Montenegrin historical consciousness.
