The '''History of the Balkan states''' is a complex affair.  Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, evidence has emerged that portrays the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its leader Josip Broz Tito in a totally different light.

==Josip Broz Tito==

Josip Broz a Croatian born in Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia was the Commander of all Partisans and Communists during WWII. He then later became Yugoslavia's political leader and was the main decision maker in military and political matters. He was President for Life [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_for_Life] of Yugoslavia and played crucial if not the main role in historical events of that country. He was considered to be by many, one of the prominent Eastern European Balkan Dictators of the Cold War Era. Some of the major Eastern European historical events that are related to Tito and that are controversial, are not encyclopedically covered at all (or simply didn't get a mentioned).

The article needs more information on the first two decades of Tito's reign. From 1943/44 onwards his style of leadership was similar to that of Stalin's.
