- —Ante Pavelic, on his plans for the Serbs.
Ante Pavelic (July 14th, 1889 - December 28th, 1959) was a politician from the former Yugoslavia. He ruled a location that was almost completely fascist. This area was near the Adriatic Sea in the northern part of the current independent state of Croatia. His genocidal policies included the murdering of the Serb and Bosnian peoples. He was originally the founder of Ustase, a terrorist nationalist group that was extremely nationalist. He led a manipulative leadership in genocides which included 200,000 Serbs, 70,000 Jews, over 10,000 African-Americans and Asians, and almost all of its 30,000 Roma. Due to his reign, even the Germans tried to restrain his bloodbath. By 1945, most of his party had dwindled. After this, he fled to Argentina. He survived an assassination attempt in 1957, but died two years later in Madrid, Spain.
