Franjo Tuđman and the Problem of Creating a Croatian State

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to identify some of the obstacles Franjo Tuđman and his government faced in their efforts to create a Croatian state and to suggest a few revisions to what has been written and copied over the past fifteen years. Theories that Tuđman pursued a "two-track" policy or that he conspired with Slobodan Milošević to partition Bosnia and Hercegovina are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of his ideological beliefs, his policies,and the realities of the 1990s in which he was forced to operate. Tuđman declared his major goals to be the creation of a sovereign Croatia and its reintegration into Europe, and he identified the obstacles to realizing those goals.
