'''Ante Pavelić''' ( 14 July 1889 – 28 December 1959) was a Croatian general and military dictator who founded and headed the [[fascist]] [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] organization known as the [[Ustaše]] in 1929 and governed the [[Independent State of Croatia]] (NDH), a fascist [[Nazi]] puppet state built out of Yugoslavia by the authorities of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, from 1941 to 1945. Pavelić and the [[Ustaše]] persecuted many racial minorities and political opponents in the NDH during the war, including Serbs, Jews, Romani, and anti-fascist Croats.

==Biography==

At the start of his career, Pavelić was a lawyer and a politician of the Croatian Party of Rights in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia known for his nationalist beliefs and support for an independent Croatia. By the end of the 1920s, his political activity became more radical as he called on Croats to revolt against Yugoslavia, and schemed an Italian protectorate of Croatia separate from Yugoslavia. After [[Alexander I of Yugoslavia|King Alexander I]] declared his 6 January Dictatorship in 1929 and banned all political parties, Pavelić went abroad and plotted with the [[Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization]] (IMRO) to undermine the Yugoslav state, which prompted the Yugoslav authorities to try him ''in absentia'' and sentence him to death. In the meantime, Pavelić had moved to fascist Italy where he founded the [[Ustaše]], a Croatian nationalist movement with the goal of creating an independent Croatia by any means, including the use of terror. Pavelić incorporated terrorist actions in the Ustaše program, such as train bombings and assassinations, staged a small uprising in Lika in 1932, culminating in the assassination of King Alexander in 1934 in conjunction with the IMRO. Pavelić was once again sentenced to death after being tried in France ''in absentia'' and, under international pressure, the Italians imprisoned him for 18 months, and largely obstructed the Ustaše in the following period.
