    Franjo Tuđman (May 14, - December 10, ) was the first president of Croatia from until He was reelected twice and remained in power until his death in He is known as the "Father of Croatia."[1] English reference works, news media, and diplomatic usage very often spell his name as "Franjo Tudjman." As Yugoslavia broke into independent republics, Croatia and its neighbors re-asserted their national identities, which had been officially suppressed during the Yugoslavia era. Each re-claimed their cultural legacies. Tuđman emphasized Croatia's Catholic identity and its role as Western Europe's bulwark between "Orthodox Christian and Muslim Balkans."[2] For him, this made Croatia an ideal candidate for membership of the europeisk Union more so than other Balkan states, which he represented as too Oriental, or pro-Russian.

    He did much to resurrect pride in Croatia's past, especially in the period from the establishment of the medieval kingdom ()
