Titoism

Titoism is named after Josip Broz Tito, who was the leader of the country called Yugoslavia from 1943 until his death in 1980. Tito wanted Yugoslavia to be a different kind of country - a country where everyone was equal and had the same rights. He believed that everyone should work together and no one should be forced to follow any one religion or political party. He also wanted Yugoslavia to be independent from outside forces and he refused to accept money and help from the Soviet Union. Titoism was the system that Tito set up to make sure this happened. It included economic reforms, social policies, and laws that allowed the citizens to have a say in how the government was run. Titoism also encouraged cooperation and friendship between different ethnic and religious groups living in Yugoslavia.
