	Franjo Tuđman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franjo Tuđman (May 14, 1922 - December 10, 1999) was the first president of Croatia in the 1990s.
		Franjo Tuđman was born in Veliko Trgovišće, a village in the Hrvatsko Zagorje region of northern Croatia.
		It was Franjo Tuđman's firm opinion that all this was done in an attempt to create and solidify Greater Serbian domination on the ruins of the destroyed, post-Titoist Yugoslavia.

	Franjo Tudjman Information - TextSheet.com
		Tudjman was tried again in 1981 for the "crime" of giving the interview to the Swedish TV on the position of Croats in Yugoslavia and got three years of prison, but again he only served a portion, this time eleven months.
		Tudjman had, relying on earlier investigations, concluded that the number of all victims in the Jasenovac camp (Serbs, Croats, Jews, Gypsies and others) was somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000.
		On closer examination, Tudjman can be blamed only for the lack of sensitivity: he quoted various Jewish sources that show how the number of victims is hard to estimate- Jewish and Israeli historians placed the number of Jews killed in the Nazi genocide between 4 and 6 million.

	Bosnia Report - December 1999 - February 2000: Franjo Tudjman - an obituary
		Franjo Tudjman was born on 14 May 1922 in Veliko Trgovisce, a small town north west of Zagreb, into a family of small farmers and occasional innkeepers settled there since the 18th century.
		Tudjman was now becoming a serious embarrassment to the Croatian Party leadership, but he was saved initially by the fall of Alexander Rankovic, Yugoslavia's powerful Interior Minister, whose expulsion from the Party in 1966 inaugurated a major purge of party and state institutions, especially in Serbia.
		Tudjman continued, however, to participate actively in the cultural organization Matica Hrvatska, where he caused consternation at the end of the 1960s by protesting against the Federal Party's decision to recognize the Bosnian Muslims (now Bosniaks), whom he considered to be Croats, as a distinct nation.

	Guardian \| Franjo Tudjman
		The death of Franjo Tudjman, the first president of independent Croatia, at the age of 77 from stomach cancer and a series of surgical complications, came towards the end of the author- itarian leader's second term as head of state.
		Tudjman left the military in 1961 to devote himself to historical studies, a shift that resulted in his conversion from communism to nationalism.
		Tudjman leaves a wife, two sons, one of whom has served as Croatian intelligence chief, the other a university lecturer, and a daughter who is a wealthy trader.

	Franjo Tudjman dead at 77
		Tudjman was one of the three ethnic leaders at the Dayton, Ohio, talks convened by the Clinton administration in late 1995 to end the Bosnian conflict, along with the Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic, and the Bosnian Muslim figure, Alija Izetbegovic.
		Tudjman's governance of Croatia came under extremely harsh criticism by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which accused him in a detailed report of harsh treatment of the remaining Serbian minority, suppression of the press and failure to cooperate with the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
		Franjo Tudjman was born on May 14, 1922, the eldest of three sons, in Veliko Trgovisce, a village in the hilly Zagorje region that was also the birthplace of Tito, his onetime patron.

	Croatia Myth&Reality: Tudjman is a recent convert from communism to democracy
		Franjo Tudjman's long and difficult transition from Yugoslav Army general to President of the Republic of Croatia was as remarkable as the man himself.
		Franjo Tudjman was born on May 14, 1922 in Veliko Trgovisce in the Zagorje province of Croatia.
		Franjo Tudjman's long and arduous journey from Partisan war hero to president of his country was very unlike that of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, whom the New York Times labeled the "Butcher of the Balkans." Milosevic, an unrepentant hard-line Communist in the mold of Joseph Stalin, is a product of Communism and the Yugoslav Party-State.

	CNN - Croatian President Tudjman dies at 77 - December 10, 1999
		Tudjman twice underwent abdominal surgery since being hospitalized for a ruptured large intestine on November 1, but his recovery was thwarted by peritonitis, sepsis and internal bleeding.
		Tudjman will be remembered as the man who led his country to independence from the former Yugoslavia -- and as the man whose authoritarian rule and nationalist policies helped fuel the war in Bosnia.
		Tudjman was born May 14, 1922, to a poor farming family in the northwestern Croatian village of Veliko Trgovisce.

	Tudjman, Franjo
		Born in Veliko Trgovisce, Croatia, Tudjman was educated at the Higher Military Academy in Belgrade and studied for a doctorate at the University of Zagreb.
		In 1993, in violation of the 1992 UN peace accord, Tudjman launched an offensive to recapture Serb-held territory in the disputed Krajina enclave, and further offensives into western Slavonia and Krajina in 1995, which created more than 150,000 Serb refugees and were allegedly accompanied by widespread human-rights violations.
		Tudjman called an early election in October 1995, seeking a popular mandate to continue with his militaristic policies, but, although re-elected, his party failed to win the two-thirds majority for which he had hoped.

	[No title]
		Tudjman believed that a dominant nationality imposes its values, institutions, language and history on every state, and that because only one constituent nation of a multinational state is dominant, such states are both repressive and prone to collapse.
		Tudjman’s view of the world was also influenced by the writers Miroslav Krleza, August Cesarec and Augustin Ujevic; the sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic; the economist Rudolf Bicanic; and a variety of Croatian politicians, from Fran Supilo and Ante Trumbic, to Milan Sufflay and Andrija Hebrang.
		Tudjman sought to denature and appropriate both by condemning the crimes of the Ustasha and stressing the Croatian nature of the Partisans; presenting both as epiphenomena of a particular era in European history; and inviting the descents of both to build a common Croatian state.

	Croatia's Leader Franjo Tudjman Denounced as Holocaust Revisionist
		Tudjman's views are all the more noteworthy because they are those of a respected historian who cannot seriously be regarded as a "Nazi." During the Second World War he fought against Croatia's pro-German Ustashe regime as an officer in the partisan forces of Communist leader Tito.
		Tudjman is the author of numerous historical works, several of which have appeared in other languages, and has been a guest lecturer at universities and institutes in Italy, Germany and the United States.
		Tudjman's refusal to give in to demands that he repudiate his revisionist views on the Holocaust issue is entirely consistent with his record of defiance of biased "official" history.

	Croatian President Franjo Tudjman - The Balkans' (not much) lesser evil. By David Plotz
		Tudjman's good fortune is that he has never been quite as nasty, stupid, and uncivilized as his brother-in-crime, Slobodan Milosevic.
		Tudjman shares Milosevic's eliminationist nationalism, and he implemented it with similar brutality, using murder, war, exile, and judicial terrorism to empty Croatia of non-Croatians.
		Tudjman was a fervent Red, and after the war he rose through military and party ranks, eventually becoming the general in charge of party discipline.

	Croatian President Franjo Tudjman dies "He was a monster, but he was our monster" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		"Tudjman almost certainly did not care that he was a monster because, unlike Milosevic, he was our monster." These are the words that the author Misha Glenny uses in his recent book to sum up the relationship between the Western powers and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, who died in Zagreb on Saturday night.
		Tudjman was a nationalist, a racist and anti-Semite.
		Tudjman reduced this number to 30,000 and ascribed quite "positive achievements" to the Ustasha regime, which were "the expression of the historical efforts of the Croatian people".

	East European Constitutional Review
		Tudjman's willingness to stand above the fray of internal CDU struggles, while allowing his deputies to massacre one another politically, can be explained by his ambivalent attitude toward democratization and reform.
		Tudjman seems to have a dim sense that economic development in Croatia will require that important institutions, the banking sector, for instance, be made somewhat accountable and that officeholders not behave like a pack of wolves.
		On October 24, Tudjman's wife stated that the money in question had only been a transfer from her husband to her, and that the money was revenue earned from books the president had authored.

		Tudjman was born in 1922, in Veliko Trgovisce, in Zagorje, not far from Kumrovec, where Josip Broz Tito was born.
		Tudjman claimed that he objected to the collective complex of guilt, that was put on the Croat people because of the evils NDH (Independent State of Croatia) committed in the Second World War.
		Tudjman claimed that the agreement "solved national question of Croats." Former communist head of Croatia, Vladimir Bakaric, considered that view an invitation to a radical altering of Yugoslavia, to a division of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to establishing Greater Croatia.

		The country's first President after its independence, Franjo Tudjman, died on 10 December, while the Parliament's lower house was dismissed on 27 November after the expiration of its four-year mandate.
		However, on 1 November, President Tudjman was urgently transferred to hospital with a perforated colon, the result of a disease that was first discovered in 1996.
		Tudjman was not able to call for elections (which is the exclusive prerogative of the President of the Republic), while the Constitution prescribed only the possibility of the President's permanent disability in performing his duties (which, for obvious reasons, the HDZ did not want to use).

		Tudjman, who had finished World War 2 as captain with the communist partizan forces and later was promoted to general's rank within Tito's People's Army, gained a lot of insight during his time for being director of the institute of history of Worker's Movement in Zagreb.

		Tudjman delivered a speech to the Croatian Sabor (parliament) on the occasion of the proclamation of the Republic of Croatia on December 22, 1990.
