"Stop sending people to kill me," Tito once wrote to [[Joseph Stalin]]. "If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second." [[Stalin]] expelled the [[Yugoslav Communist Party]] on June 28, 1948. Tito was perhaps the only person who stood up to Stalin and survived. The U.S. provided large-scale military equipment.
