Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I muri i te pakarutanga o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i hainatia e Prince Paul tētahi tiriti o te hononga i te 25 o Maehe 1941, e kawe ana i tōna whenua ki te puni Axis. I te kore whakaae ki tenei whakatau, ka whakakeke te ope Yugoslav i nga ra e rua i muri mai ka kii ko te nuinga o te taiohi a Peter II ki te tango mana katoa. I mauheretia a Paul, Olga me a raatau tamariki tokotoru ka tukuna ki nga Ingarihi, i peia atu ki Kariki (i reira i powhirihia e Kingi George II) ka haere ki Ihipa (i raro i te whakapae mo te mahi tinihanga). I taua wā anō, nā te whakakahoretanga o te rangatiratanga o Iurukōria i akiaki a Hitler ki te whakaeke i a Belgrade
ka whakaekea te whenua i te Paenga-whāwhā o te tau 1941.
