Τίτο, or Josip Broz Tito, was a Yugoslav revolutionary and statesman who served as the Prime Minister and later as the President of Yugoslavia from 1945 until his death in 1980. He is known for his role in leading the resistance against Axis powers during World War II and for establishing a socialist federation that included several republics. Tito's leadership was marked by a unique form of socialism that emphasized independence from the Soviet Union, known as Titoism. He promoted a policy of non-alignment during the Cold War, fostering relationships with both Western and Eastern bloc countries. His death led to significant political changes in Yugoslavia, eventually contributing to its dissolution in the 1990s.
