Franjo Tudman, also known as Franjo Tudjman, was born in Veliko Trgovi, Croatia, and Croatia's Franjo Tudman.
He served during World War II as a member of the Croatian Partisans' 10th Zagreb Corps.
After the war, he served in the Ministry of Defense, rising to the rank of major general of the Yugoslav Army in 1960.
He devoted himself to geopolitics after his service career.
He became a professor on the Zagreb Faculty of Political Sciences in 1963.
He earned his doctorate in 1965 and spent as a scholar before coming into conflict with the regime.
Tudman was incarcerated for his 1972 work in the Croatian Spring Movement, calling for changes in the country.
He lived relatively anonymously in the ensuing years until Communism's demise, whereupon began his political career in 1989 by founding the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). HDZ won the first Croatian parliamentary elections in 1990, and Tudman became the President of the Presidency of SR Croatia.
Tudman, the president, enacted a new constitution and called for the establishment of a democratic Croatia.
A referendum on independence was held on May 19th, 1991, which was accepted by 93 percent of voters.
On June 25, 1991, Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia.
During the War of Independence, Croatian Serb majority revolted, backed by the Yugoslav army, and Tudman led Croatia.
In 1992, a ceasefire was established in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Croats fought in a war with Bosniaks.
Their cooperation fell apart in late 1992 and Tudman's government sided with Herzeg-Bosnia during the Croat-Bosniak War with the intention of reunite the Croatian people, sparking international condemnation.
He signed the Washington Agreement with Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic in March 1994 that restored Croats and Bosniaks to Europe.
He ordered Operation Storm, a major offensive that effectively ended the war in Croatia, in August 1995.
He was one of the signatories to the Dayton Agreement, which brought an end to the Bosnian War earlier this year.
He was re-elected president in 1992 and 1997 and then stayed in office until his resignation in 1999.
Although supporters point to his role in Croatian independence, critics have characterized his presidency as authoritarian.
According to surveys conducted after Tudman's death, the Croatian public has generally had a high favorability rating.
Early life and education
Franjo Tuman was born in Veliko Trgove, a village in the northern Croatian city of Hrvatsko Zagorje, on May 14th, 1922, when he was a member of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Soon after he was born, the family returned to the house marked as his birthplace. Stjepan's father was a local tavern and was a politically active member of the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS). He had been president of the HSS committee in Veliko Trgovi (1925-1941), and had been elected mayor of Veliko Trgovie in 1936 and 1938. Mato, Andra, and Juraj, Stjepan Tuman's brothers, immigrated to the United States. Valentin, his brother, also attempted to immigrate, but a traveling accident delayed him and kept him in Veliko Trgovi, where he worked as a (uneducated) veterinarian.
Besides Franjo, Stjepan Tuman had Danica Ana (who died as a child), Ivica (born in 1926), and Stjepan "tefek" (born in 1926). When Franjo Tuman was seven years old, his mother Justina (née Gmaz) died while having her fifth child. Unlike his father and grandmother, Tuman's mother was a devout Catholic, unlike his father and stepmother. His father, like Stjepan Radin, had anticslerical views, and young Franjo adopted his ideas. Franjo Tuman was an altar boy in the local church as an infant. Tuman attended elementary school in his native village from 1929 to 1930, and was an outstanding student.
He went to secondary school for eight years, beginning in 1935. The reasons for the disruption are uncertain, but it is presumed that the root cause was an economic recession in that period. According to various sources, the local parish aided young Franjo to continue his education and his tutor even suggested that he be trained to become a priest. When he was 15, his father brought him to Zagreb, where he met Vladko Maek, the president of the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS). Franjo's first love for the HSS had a long history, but later he moved toward communism. He was arrested on 5 November 1940, at student protests commemorating the Soviet October Revolution.
Military career
Franjo Tuman and Ankica Umbar were married on May 25th, 1945 at the Belgrade City Council. They wanted to show their faith in the Communist movement and the importance of civil ritual over religious ones in this way. (The government introduced a rule in May 1945 that permitted civil marriages and taking weddings (among other things) out of Church jurisdiction.) The employees returned to work the same day.
His father Stjepan and his stepmother were discovered dead on April 26, 1946. The circumstances of their death were never explained by a Tumor. According to the police, his father Stjepan murdered his wife and then himself. According to other reports, Ustasha rebels (Crusaders) and Yugoslav secret police members are suspected (OZNA).
In Belgrade, Franjo and Ankica did not qualify as secondary school graduates until after the war. He graduated from Partisan High School in 1945 and spent five semesters of English language in the Yugoslav Foreign Office.
Tuman was promoted to colonel in 1953, and in 1959, he became a major general. He had been the youngest general in the Yugoslav Army at the age of 38. His promotion was not significant, but it was atypical for a Croat because senior officers were increasingly likely to be Serbs and Montenegrins. Serbs and Montenegrins made up 70% of army generals in 1962.
He became JSD Partizan Belgrade's secretary on May 23, 1954, and then as president in May 1958, becoming the first colonel to be elected (all previous holders were generals). He was put in that position in order to address internal management issues within the club, particularly the football section. JSD Partizan Belgrade, when he arrived, was a kind of intelligence battle, where UDBA and KOS leaders fought for control. Despite being well-known and talented players, clubs (especially in the football section) saw poor results, particularly in the football department. The club began using the black-white striped kit, which is still in use today. Tuman said he wanted to create a pan-Yugoslav image and opposed SD Crvena Zvezda which had exclusive Serbian images. Juventus F.C. inspired Tuman.C. Uniforms are sold in a mall. However, Stjepan Bobek (fk Partizan's former player) said that the uniform color scheme was, in fact, his, which was passed on to Tuman.
As many officers with no formal military training, Tuman attended the Belgrade military academy, as did many others. He graduated from the tactical school on July 18th as a good student. Duan Bilandiyi, one of his teachers, will be a future advisor. He had risen to become the youngest general in the Yugoslav Army before he turned 40 years old. Although based in Belgrade, where his three children were born, he was instrumental in communist doctrine.
