I often see a lot of praise of Tito for successfully keeping the various ethnic groups of Yugoslavia at peace throughout his tenure, and thus keeping Yugoslavia together.

However, isn’t one’s success greatly determined by their legacy, and what they left behind when they died?

The country blew up, fractured into genocidal conflict and lost some the best parts of their socialism.

It seems more that Tito didn’t actually fix Yugoslavia’s underlying ethnic conflicts, but rather successfully swept them under the rug during his tenor.
