Franjo Tuđman (14 May 1922 – 10 December 1999) was a fascist Croatian politician who ruled Croatia in the 1990s after its secession from Yugoslavia. His 1989 book Wastelands of Historical Truth openly supported Hitler and said only 900,000 Jews died in the Holocaust. He believed genocide was natural and useful for preserve monarchies or spread religions.[1]:41–42

Appointment of Ustaše[edit | edit source]

Tuđman appointed several Nazi collaborators to government positions. He made Vinko Nikolić an MP and Mate Sarlija a general. He planned to make Ivo Rojnica, the former Ustaša commander of Dubrovnik, an ambassador to Argentina but withdrew the appointment due to international backlash.[1]:45
