After World War I, the states of Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia,
Slovenia and Voyvodina and Montenegro were combined to form
Yugoslavia. In 1941 the Germans invaded and occupied most of the
country. However, Partisans controlled many areas and acted
without interference. One such group was lead by Marshal Tito,
who in 1945 gained control of the central government. On
November 29, 1945 Yugoslavia was declared a republic and Marshall
Tito, a communist, became head of government. Tito rejected
policy from the Soviet Union, and instead accepted aid and
material from the United States, Britain, France and supported
the Czech government before its fall in 1968. A Croatian
independence movement in 1972 led to a crack down on liberal
freedoms and brought Yugoslavia more in-line with other eastern
European nations. Most business and industry are nationalized,
with small private economies tolerated. Workers are guaranteed
basic wages and standards of work. President Tito died on May 4,
1980 and the head of government has reverted to a Collective
Presidency among the League of Communists in Yugoslavia.
