two "firsts" in modern British history highlighted the support of Queen Elizabeth to the original Yugoslavia political strongman Tito :

1. On March 16, 1953, the UK welcomed the first visit in history socialist state head of - Yugoslavia's head of state Josep Broz Tito . Tito made an official state visit to the UK. Accompanied by Prince Philip (Queen's husband), Tito reviewed the British guard of honor in front of Westminster Palace and met with then British Prime Minister Churchill.

2. In October 1972, Queen Elizabeth became the first British monarch to visit a socialist country. The socialist country the queen visited was Yugoslavia under Tito's rule. Tito personally went to the airport to pick him up, and thousands of Yugoslav people welcomed him. In the Tito Memorial Hall of Serbia , there are still photos given to Tito by the Queen and her husband Philip.

Queen Elizabeth is by no means the "decoration" in Windsor Castle.

As early as 1941, Tito tinkered with his "July Revolution" in the small town of Urice in Serbia. The team was short of food and clothing and had only "seven or eight guns". The then British Prime Minister Churchill keenly discovered and supported the Croatian guerrillas. At that time, the German Nazis supported another Croatian armed force, "Ustasha". "Ustasha" surrendered to the Nazis under the banner of safeguarding the interests of the Croatian nationality, but it had a mass base in the local area.

In the late stage of World War II , Tito even got the escort of British Royal Navy and set his command post on the island of Adriatic Sea . The British invited Tito to customize suits with them in London, drink red wine, and smoke cigars exactly the same as those in Churchill's mouth, creating Tito's full British gentlemanly taste of life.

Stalin supported at that time, Serbian guerrillas and royalist party "Chetnik", which means "Green Forest Army". In 1943, Tito prohibited King Peter from returning to Yugoslavia on "clear instructions" to "confront Stalin". The furious Stalin publicly accused Tito of "betraying the Soviet Union" at the Tehran conference . By 1948, Tito was the first to stand up to resist Soviet hegemony.

Independence and non-alignment are our principles and Tito's principles. Based on this principle, we and Tito gradually developed into "irons". It is ridiculous to recall that the Soviet Union once asked us not to establish diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia, which was willing to establish diplomatic relations with us.
