From the perspective of world history, many times world history is dominated by great people or national leaders, especially as national leaders, and many times it determines the direction of the country's development. But many times these great figures often have both merits and sins, and many of them lead the country to be strong, but also lay the groundwork for the country's downfall. Therefore, its historical merits are difficult to judge. The most typical of these is the Yugoslav leader Tito, for which many people do not understand, what is Tito's historical contribution? You might not think of it.
Tito was the founding father of Yugoslavia and the true founder of Yugoslavia. But for this leader, it is actually very controversial until now. On the one hand, Titona was of great credit to the creation of Yugoslavia and to the strengthening of Yugoslavia. Especially during Tito's reign, the entire Yugoslav state reached its strongest strength, whether it was economic, political or military power, it was extremely powerful, making Yugoslavia the fifth largest country in Europe and a world power, which is a positive evaluation.
On the other hand, many people also believe that the final disintegration and division of Yugoslavia was actually caused by Tito. In particular, during Tito's reign, he constantly engaged in the strategy of national differentiation and constantly engaged in the confrontation of nationalities within the country. Eventually, the whole country moved toward confrontation, and after Tito's death, it soon fell into a split and disintegrated directly. So until now, tito has been more negatively evaluated.
For this reason, many people actually do not understand, so what is Tito's historical contribution? In fact, there is basically only one, that is, a "unique development path". We know that although Yugoslavia is also a Soviet system, Yugoslavia has optimized it. During Tito's reign, Yugoslavia continued to push for internal reforms while keeping its own system unchanged. The shortcomings of the reform system, which stimulated the development momentum of the entire economy, made Yugoslavia develop very rapidly.
At the same time, Tito continued to promote the opening up of Yugoslavia to the West, not only attracting Western capital, but also constantly improving the level of opening up. At the same time, it attracted millions of tourists, making Yugoslavia's economy fully prosperous. Therefore, in the Yugoslav period, its per capita GDP, per capita car ownership, per capita home appliance ownership and other indicators are among the top in the world.
It can be said that Tito's economic development in Yugoslavia is actually an experimental product of mature reform and opening up after that, and like the Soviet Union, it actually provides a lot of reference for our country after that. It's just that the Soviet Union is the opposite, while Yugoslavia is the positive. Therefore, if Tito is there, then its development model must have been successful long ago, but it is a pity that Tito did not deal with the national problem well, leaving a huge hidden danger for the country and eventually destroying the country.
