• Description

  Kissinger - Tito: America and Yugoslavia in the Cold War Synonymous with American foreign policy during the Cold War era, Henry Kissinger met with the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito on several occasions during the seventies - as many as six times, and he also had several meetings with other prominent figures of the Yugoslav state and diplomacy. Taking the post of President Nixon's assistant for national security in a period of great crisis in American foreign policy due to the difficult engagement in the conflict in Vietnam, Kissinger was greatly tempted to translate his previous intellectual experiences into real policy, which would be implemented by the American president. In his perception, socialist Yugoslavia had a special place as a country that opened a rift in the Eastern Communist bloc and also served as a kind of example for other countries to eventually follow the path of "Titoism" - as he himself called Yugoslavia's policy of moving away from the Eastern, Communist bloc - but also as a strategic point of American policy to keep the Soviet Union out of access to the Mediterranean.
