Josip Broz Tito was unique as a communist. He was the only European besides Lenin to lead a successful communist revolution. His early experience of Soviet Russia before World War II and Stalin had given him experience that others lacked. Throughout his life he sought to distinguish between Leninism and Stalinism. In his new Yugoslavia he developed a system of socialist self-administration which appeared able to compete with the West and provide his people with the consumer benefits associated with capitalism. However, within ten years of his death Yugoslavia imploded into the most brutal of ethnic conflicts.
