Ljubgojna () is a settlement west of Horjul in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Name Ljubgojna was attested in written sources in 1303 as ''Lvblgoyn'' (and as ''Lubligoy'' in 1347 and ''Lubigon'' in 1427).

Second World War
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.

Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
