Josip Broz - Tito, (7. May 1892, Kumrovec, Avstro-Ogrska, † 4. May 1980, Ljubljana, Jugoslavija) was the leader of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1943 until his death in 1980.
During World War II, Josip Broz organized the anti-fascist resistance movement known as the Yugoslav Partisans. Tito was his secret partisan name.
Later he was a founding member of Cominform, but resisted Soviet influence (Titoism), and became one of the founders and promoters of the Non-Aligned Movement.
He supported the creation of a Yugoslav nationality and identity as a Pan-Slavic replacement of the existing nationalities in Yugoslavia, and thus considered himself a Yugoslav. He was an ethnic Croat of mixed Croatian-Slovene ancestry, with his father a Croat and his mother Slovene.
People like Tito or not. Some don’t. People like the 20th century or not. Some don’t. But they belong together, this man and this century.
