Yugoslavia Under Josip Broz Tito
Titos reign from WW2 to his death in 1980 can be summarized as a strong leadership over all provinces, as he managed to maintain a delicate balance among the diverse ethnic groups within the country through policies of non-alignment and benefitting from many foreign ties
“Let that man be a Bosnian, Herzegovinian. Outside they don't call you by another name, except simply a Bosnian. Whether that be a Muslim (Bosniak), Serb or Croat. Everyone can be what they feel that they are, and no one has a right to force a nationality upon them” (Tito).
