Tito's greatest strength was acquiring ~~money~~ from the West. This made it possible for the creation of the "second Yugoslavia", a socialist, communist federation that lasted from 1945 until 1991.

Tito's greatest strength was acquiring financial and economic support from the West. This made it possible for the creation of the "second Yugoslavia", a socialist, communist federation that lasted from 1945 until 1991. The West wanted to give support to Yugoslavia in opposition to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=ibsOAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA72&dq=human+rights+communist+tito+yugoslavia+camps&hl=en&ei=hiuYTNGQKcWycICJsfwO&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=human%20rights%20communist%20tito%20yugoslavia%20camps&f=false British Intelligence, Strategy, and the Cold War, 1945-51] by Richard James Aldrich.

*Information from 'Keeping Tito Afloat' by Lorraine M. Lees:

{{Cquote|''After World War Two, the [[United States]] considered Yugoslavia to be a loyal Soviet satellite, but Tito surprised the West in 1948 by breaking with Stalin. Seizing this opportunity, the Truman administration sought to "keep Tito afloat" by giving him military and economic aid.''<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=MO0brh8EgdcC&pg=PR16&dq=Keeping+Tito+Afloat:+The+United+States,+Yugoslavia,+and+the+Cold+War+loans&hl=en&ei=0VB2TPu3GMWrcYbigY8G&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=loans&f=false Keeping Tito Afloat] by Lorraine M.
