Josip Broz Tito: Difference between revisions

Line 38:

===Death and aftermath===

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".

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.

Orson Welles once called him "the greatest man in the world today."

==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.
