From the perspective of world history, although the development trend of the country and history is not subject to the will of the individual, especially the general trend of history, it is irreversible. But in fact, in essence, many times, the development fate of a country, that is directly related to the national leader, especially the strong leader, but also determines the trend and destiny of the country. Most typically, many people now say that the disintegration of Yugoslavia was because Tito died too early, because after Tito's death, the leaders behind tito could not control the country, so they finally disintegrated. So if Tito had lived 10 more years, would Yugoslavia have disintegrated? You might not think of it.
Tito was the founder and strongest leader of Yugoslavia, and Tito controlled Yugoslavia for more than 40 years from the late 1940s to 1980. And Yugoslavia's strength and prosperity were created during Tito's reign. Especially in the 1970s, Yugoslavia became one of the most developed countries in the world, the country was rich and oily, the people were extremely happy, and the entire national strength was extremely strong, so even the United States and the Soviet Union could not shake Yugoslavia.
After Tito's death in 1980, the whole of Yugoslavia took a sharp turn for the worse, and by the beginning of the 90s, Yugoslavia was gradually dismembered, the country was divided into seven, and now only a small and weak Serbia remained. Many Yugoslavs have said until now that if Tito had lived an extra 10 years, that is, until the 90s, Then Yugoslavia would not have disintegrated.
Because tito was in power, the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia were very united, and no nation dared to make independence, so the country would not disintegrate, so was this really the case? Tito lived for 10 more years, and Yugoslavia really wouldn't disintegrate? The answer is no. We know that although Tito is very strong and can deter all ethnic groups, there are actually two fundamental reasons for the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
One is that the ethnic contradictions inherent in Yugoslavia, especially the main ethnic group Serbs, are too weak, while other nationalities, such as Croats, Slovenes, etc., are too strong and are bound to be top-heavy. The second is the forcible dismemberment of the West, we see that Yugoslavia is the West, the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other Western powers, rushing up, NATO directly intervened, and finally disintegrated Yugoslavia, because the West does not want to see the Balkan Peninsula in the hands of Yugoslavia.
Therefore, these two points, even if Tito is strong, cannot be bridged. First of all, in terms of ethnic relations, Tito not only did not strengthen the status of serbia's subject nation, but constantly supported his own nation, the Croats, which eventually made the national power more unbalanced and the subject nation more dangerous.
Second, with the Presence of the Soviet Union, Tito could resist the Attack of the West. But by the 1990s, the Soviet Union no longer existed, so Yugoslavia was unable to stand alone, and no matter how strong a country was, it could not resist the rush of NATO and the West. So even Tito's reign could not prevent the West from dismembering Yugoslavia.
And if Tito lived for 10 more years, by the 90s, he was more than 90 years old, and the whole thing would be powerless. Tito was powerless in the historical trend of the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and even Tito may accelerate this trend. So Tito lived for 10 more years and couldn't save Yugoslavia, you probably wouldn't have thought.
