Josip Broz Tito
Yugoslav communist revolutionary and statesman (1892–1980)
Josip Broz Tito (born 7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980) was a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and statesman, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980. He was the chief architect of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), a socialist state that existed from the end of World War II until its dissolution in 1992.
Early Life
Tito was born in the village of Kumrovec, in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was the seventh of fifteen children in a peasant family. He left home at an early age to work as a machinist in various parts of the empire.
Military Career
During World War I, Tito served in the Austro-Hungarian Army. He was captured by the Russians and spent time in a prisoner-of-war camp. After the October Revolution, he joined the Red Army and fought in the Russian Civil War.
Political Career
Tito joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) in 1920. He rose through the ranks and became the General Secretary of the CPY in 1939. During World War II, he led the Yugoslav Partisans, a communist-led resistance movement against the Axis powers. After the war, he became the Prime Minister and later the President of Yugoslavia.
Leadership of Yugoslavia
Under Tito's leadership, Yugoslavia pursued a policy of non-alignment during the Cold War, refusing to align with either the United States or the Soviet Union. He was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Death and Legacy
Tito died on 4 May 1980 in Ljubljana, SR Slovenia. His death marked the beginning of a period of political instability in Yugoslavia, which eventually led to its dissolution in the early 1990s.
