Josip Broz Tito: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (4257 words)
After the Tito-Šubašić Agreement in late 1944, the provisional government of Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was assembled on March 7, 1945 in Belgrade, headed by Tito.
Tito was buried in his mausoleum in Belgrade, called Kuća cveća (The House of Flowers) and numerous people visit the place as a shrine to "better times," although it no longer holds a guard of honour.
Tito was just shy of his 59th birthday, while she was 27, when they finally married, in April 1952, with state security chief Aleksandar Rankovic as the groom's best man. Their eventual marriage came about somewhat unexpectedly since Tito actually rejected her some years earlier when his confidante Ivan Krajacic brought her in originally.
