The German attack on Yugoslavia did not incite Tito to act, but Hitler’s attack on the USSR did. On several occasions, Georgi Dimitrov had to explain to him that there was no chance a social revolution could successfully be carried out in Yugoslavia before the War. If anything, he showed himself to be overzealous. He proved to be a true Stalinist leader since he never questioned any instructions he got from Moscow. He became a member of the Central Committee in 1934 and as such went to Moscow, only to inherit the actual leadership of the Party during the purges. The explanations of the origins of Tito-Stalin split are to be found in the evolution of the CPY from 1937 onwards, and are intrinsically linked with the actions of Josip Broz, better known as Tito.
