Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.

Franjo Tuđman
Franjo Tuđman, also written as Franjo Tudjman (14 May 1922 – 10 December 1999), was a Croatian politician and historian.
Following the country's independence from Yugoslavia he became the first President of Croatia and served as president from 1990 until his death in 1999.
He was the 9th and last President of the Presidency of SR Croatia from May to July 1990.
Tuđman was born in Veliko Trgovišće, Croatia.
In his youth he fought during World War II as a member of the 10th Zagreb Corps of the Croatian Partisans.
After the war he took a post in the Ministry of Defence, later attaining the rank of major general of the Yugoslav Army in 1960.
After his military career he dedicated himself to the study of geopolitics.
In 1963 he became a professor on the Zagreb Faculty of Political Sciences.
He received a doctorate in history in 1965 and worked as a historian until coming into conflict with the regime.
Tuđman participated in the Croatian Spring movement that called for reforms in the country and was imprisoned for his activities in 1972.
He lived relatively anonymously in the following years until the end of Communism, whereupon he began his political career by founding the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) in 1989.
HDZ won the first Croatian parliamentary elections in 1990 and Tuđman became the President of the Presidency of SR Croatia.
As president, Tuđman introduced a new constitution and pressed for the creation of an independent Croatia.
On 19 May 1991, an independence referendum was held, which was approved by 93 percent of voters.
Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia on 25 June 1991.
Areas with a Serb majority revolted, backed by the Yugoslav army, and Tuđman led Croatia during its War of Independence.
A ceasefire was signed in 1992, but the war had spread into Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Croats fought in an alliance with Bosniaks.
Their cooperation fell apart in late 1992 and Tuđman's government sided with Herzeg-Bosnia during the Croat-Bosniak War with the goal to reunite the Croatian people, a move that brought criticism from the international community.
In March 1994, he signed the Washington Agreement with Bosnian President Alija Izetbegović that re-allied Croats and Bosniaks.
In August 1995, he authorized a major offensive known as Operation Storm which effectively ended the war in Croatia.
In the same year, he was one of the signatories of the Dayton Agreement that put an end to the Bosnian War.
He was re-elected president in 1992 and 1997 and remained in power until his death in 1999.
While supporters point out his role in achieving Croatian independence, critics have described his presidency as authoritarian.
Surveys after Tuđman's death have generally shown a high favorability rating among the Croatian public.
Place of origin
In Switzerland, the place of origin( literally" home place" or" citizen place") denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipal citizenship.
It is not to be confused with the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances.
Ankica Tuđman
Ankica Tuđman (née Žumbar; born 24 July 1926) is the widow of Franjo Tuđman, the first President of an independent Croatia from 1991 until 1999, following the country's secession from SFR Yugoslavia, and the last President of the Presidency of SR Croatia as a constituent Yugoslav republic.
