'''Josip Broz''' (7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980), commonly known as '''Tito''', was a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and statesman, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980. During [[World War II]], he was the leader of the Partisans, often regarded as the most effective resistance movement in occupied Europe. While his presidency has been criticized as authoritarian and concerns about the repression of political opponents have been raised, Tito has traditionally been seen as a benevolent dictator. | '''Josip Broz''' (7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980), commonly known as '''Tito''' or '''Josip Broz Tito''', was a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and statesman, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980.

He was a popular public figure both in Yugoslavia and abroad. Viewed as a unifying symbol, his internal policies maintained the peaceful coexistence of the nations of the Yugoslav federation. He gained further international attention as the chief leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, alongside Jawaharlal Nehru of India, [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]] of Egypt, [[Nicolae Ceaușescu]] of Romania, [[Sukarno]] of Indonesia, and [[Kwame Nkrumah]] of Ghana. | |||

When Tito died, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, the then President of Sinn Féin, stated in An Phoblacht that: "The death of President Tito deprives the world of a dedicated socialist and staunch internationalist. Tito instituted a federal democratic and socialist regime based on shared sovereignty and pioneered an economic and political system founded on workers' control and the principles of decentralised self-management...[He had an] enlightened and progressive internationalist policy of non-alignment and defiance of both major power blocs". | When Tito died, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, the then President of Sinn Féin, stated in An Phoblacht that: "The death of President Tito deprives the world of a dedicated socialist and staunch internationalist.

After Tito's death, Yugoslavia adopted a system of collective leadership. However, this would lead to a number of power-struggles and conflicting ideologies which would exacerbate growing tensions between Yugoslavia's constituent republics. These tensions would ultimately ignite the [[Yugoslav Wars]] beginning in 1991, leading to Yugoslavia disintegrating completely by 2001. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*There is a rumor that Tito assassinated [[Joseph Stalin]] via poison as retaliation for the many times that Stalin tried to have Tito assassinated. | |||
*He is celebrated as having unified his country, which later split into ethnoreligious states. | |||
*He had wanted Albania to join Yugoslavia, believing it to be too weak to stand on its own. This eventually caused a rift with Albanian dictator [[Enver Hoxha]], who later deemed Titoism to be anti-Marxist after Tito decided to break with the Soviet Union, with Hoxha remaining an ally. | |||
