  2. Pre-World War I • Josip Broz was born on 7 May 1892 in Kumrovec, in the northern Croatian region of Hrvatsko Zagorje in Austria-Hungary.He was the seventh child of Franjo and Marija Broz.His father, Franjo Broz was a Croat, while his mother Marija, was a Slovene. In the autumn of 1913, he was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian Army. He was sent to a school for non-commissioned officers and became asergeant, serving in the 25th Croatian Regiment based in Zagreb.On 25 March 1915, while in Bukovina, he was seriously wounded and captured by the Russians.

  3. Prisoner and revolutionary After 13 months at the hospital, Broz was sent to a work camp in the Ural Mountains where prisoners selected him for their camp leader.
