Marshal Josip Broz Tito as a Living Historis

As I enter High school I have o achieve goals that will alp me through out the whole 4 years of high school which will after lead me to university ad college, and afterwards to a job that I will serve through out my whole life. One of the main goals that i have to achieve is time management. I really have to work on this area. I didnt have that habit to be balanced, either i am not working at all, or I am working the whole entire day without having any rest or pause. In order to improve this I would have to have a agenda that i will have to follow rigorously until this does not turn into a habit. The second goal that has to be worked on is having all work done in high quality. Sometimes what happens is that I do some work outstanding,while some i do very poorly, and my goal is to manage to do all of the work very good. To improve this I just have to start doing this, giving my maximum for all assignments in all subjects.I know that ext year no teacher will no me well, by this I have to leave a excellent impression on the first school days which i will be repeating and countunuing through out the whole year, which will result to good marks which is the main goal.

Marshal Josip Broz Tito a Historical Figure

Early life and the beginning of communist activities

Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslav revolutionary and statesman, was born on May 7, 1892, in Kumrovec, near Zagreb, at that time in Croatia under the rule of Austrian Hungarian Empire. His father was a Croat and his Mother was Slovene. In 1907, he was an apprentice to a locksmith and he later worked as an itinerant metal worker in various Austro-Hungarian and German centers. He was drafted into the Austrian Hungarian army in 1913, where he completed noncommissioned- officer- training.  He became a sergeant and was transferred to the Russian front in early 1915, where he was seriously wounded and captured by the Russians. He was hospitalized and then sent to prison of war camps, where he became familiar with Bolshevik propaganda.

 He participated in the demonstrations in Petrograd, and after the October Revolution, joined a Red Guard unit Omsk (Siberia), and later joined the South Slav section of the Bolshevik party. In October 1920, he returned to Croatia which then became a part of the newly established Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes - also known as Kingdom of Yugoslavia - where he joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY).

Becoming a communist leader

 The same year the State banned communist activities and CPY begun to work underground. Tito served as a local and regional party functionary and trade union organizer in Croatia and Serbia until 1927; in 1928, he became organizational secretary of the CPY committee for Zagreb.  He led the street demonstrations against the authorities and successfully restored the CPY’s vitality but was arrested by the authorities in August 1928.  During his trial, he defended himself with extraordinary courage but he was anyway sentenced to five years of prison.  At the same time, King Alexander established the royal Yugoslav dictatorship, and the government arrested the most of the CPY leaders. Broz was released in March 1934 and it was in that time that he assumed the pseudonym Tito, which he used in underground party work. From February 1935 to October 1936 he worked in COMMINTERN (The Soviet Sponsored Organization of International Communism) in the Soviet Union. By 1937 he was involved in the CPY’s underground work in Yugoslavia. During 1937 and 1938 Joseph Stalin purged and devastated the CPY leadership, assassinating the top most leaders and veterans. Soon, Tito gained the COMMINTERN’s mandate to become the CPY’s new secretary general in 1939.  At that time the CPY had some 7000 members, not counting the additional 17,200 members of the Young Communist League. At an underground congress of CPY held in October 1940, Tito proposed the CPY’s leftist strategy focused on armed revolution and on a Soviet- style federalist solution to Yugoslavia’s nationality conflict.
