ANTE PAVELIC FOUNDED CROATIAN FASCIST ORGANISATION USTASA

 


Croatian Fascist Leader Ante Pavelić, who was a lawyer initially, founded the fascist ultra-nationalist organization Ustaša while he was in exile in Italy on January 07, 1929, with help from Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini. Later this movement was known with anglicized versions of Ustase, Ustashe, and Ustasha. To attain their goals Ante Pavelic declared knives, revolvers, machine guns, and atom bombs are the icons. Islam, which had a large following in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was praised by the Ustasa. From its inception and before the Second World War, the organization engaged in a series of terrorist activities against the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, including the assassination of King Alexander I in 1934. Pavelić allied himself with Nazi Germany, and when they invaded Croatia in 1941, he was selected to lead the puppet government named the Independent State of Croatia.

During his rule, the government murdered hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, Roma populations, and anti-fascist Croats, utilizing concentration and extermination camps such as Jasenovac. After the war he escaped to Austria, then Argentina, where he was shot several times in an assassination attempt. He died of those wounds two years later on December 28, 1959 (aged 70) in Spain. Ante Pavelic was born on July 14, 1889, in Bradina village, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
