Josip Broz Tito
Croatia
Josip Broz Tito, Marshal of Yugoslavia, led the Partisans to victory in WWII and became the country's President-for-Life. Born into a peasant family in 1892, he rose through the Communist Party to challenge Stalin's influence. Tito died in 1980 at age 87, and Yugoslavia fragmented a decade later.
