And the nature of Serbia if a guy who is infamous for being more radical than Milosevic IOTL is running things in Belgrade?
Thank you !
A Democratic revolution.
His presidency.
Thank you !
Ted Bundy had an attempt at a political career, while Jeffrey Dahmer is also infamous ITTL.
Serbia has been curbstomped for much of the century, so they turned very radical. Let's say it's a source of worry for the Croatians.
Any more details on the nutty regime in Serbia, now you mentioned it, then?
What became of Evo Morales ITTL, then? How prominent is he in Bolivian politics here?
Hugo Chavez
Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (Sabaneta, Venezuela 28 July 1954 - Caracas, Venezuela 5 March 1989) was a Venezuelan military officer and attempted putschist best known for his failed coup attempt on 5 March 1989 against then President Jaurès Sanchez Ramirez.
The second of seven children of a middle-class family in Sabatena, in Barinas state, Chavez acquired an interest in politics at young age, studying 19th century-federalist general Ezequiel Zamora along with the career of father of independence Simon Bolivar. Chavez would enter the Venezuelan Academy of Military of Sciences in Caracas : although very prosperous, Venezuela had fallen under the long (1963-1986) Marcos Pérez Jimenez in order to quell down syndicalist dissent : a haven for Spanish and French ex-CWR officers and theorists, Venezuela had become a hotbed for Neo-Syndicalist agitation, and the army was also divided into far-left and far-right factions : Chavez integrated the former and thought the military should act in the interest of the working classes.
Chavez served as a communications officer, seeing combat in the 1978 Guyana War, and climbed the ranks, becoming lieutenant colonel. Meanwhile, he also created secretive neo-Syndicalist cells inside the military, such as the Venezuelan People’s Liberation Army in 1977 and the Boliviarian Revolutionary Army-200 in 1982, military offshoots of the 1960s guerrilla group, the Boliviarian Revolutionary Movement. In 1986, the Integralist faction of the Army, led by Colonel Jaurès Sanchez Ramirez, took power, overthrowing Pérez Jimenez, and forced Chavez and his followers into clandestinity, even as he continued his plans for a new revolution.
In late February 1989, the harsher repression of the Sanchez Ramirez regime, along with the economic downturn brought by the 1983 worldwide krach and the decrease of oil prices, led to a series of violent riots in Caracas and major cities, that would later be known as the Second Venezuelan Revolution : Chavez, whose unit was sent to repress rioters in Caracas, saw the opportunity and joined the protesters along with his soldiers and began the first steps towards launching a military coup. Chavez’s sedition, on 2 March, helped the movement to gain traction, as dozens of military units joined the revolution.
Seen as a loose canon by the other leaders of the opposition, Chavez would prove them right when he, along with this EBR-200 fellow revolutionaries, decided, on 5 March 1989, to launch a full-blown assault on the Venezuelan presidential palace along with key positions. The Chavez coup, as it became known, first saw success, with Chavez entering Miraflores Palace, holding a press conference there, but saw no trace of Sanchez Ramirez, who had already fled to a nearby military base. Heavy artillery and higher firepower from the loyalists, along with poor preparation, led to the coupsters being killed and arrested. 332 civilians, police officers and soldiers were killed and Chavez was executed by firing squad, after giving an impassioned speech, the same night.
Although unsuccessful, the Chavez coup was the death knell of the military regime in Venezuela, as even more people joined the protests and Sanchez Ramirez fled Venezuela only three days later, leading to the restoration of democracy in Venezuela.
Nowadays, Hugo Chavez remains a controversial figure in Venezuela, seen as a reckless would-be dictator who endangered the Second Revolution, but remains very popular among the left, even more in the heavily polarized current politics. His brother Adan currently serves a Senator for Barinas, as a member of the “Bolivar Lives!” party.
I already noted your demand. It will be done. Thank you !
Yeah. A pro-Japanese one.
Serbia is your average ultranationalist saber-rattling regime. They're kept in check for the time being by the Reichspakt, though.
He's a nobody.
It's the same thing that I think when I see this song...
Postmaster General and Governor of Michigan. He wasn't the first man to cross the Atlantic solo.
When was the Second Revolution in Venezuela and what did it entail?
Any err antics the Serbian government has pulled lately? Maybe they're the sole European government to recognize Azania as a subtle jab at the Reichspakt, for starters? On that note, how are Serbia's relations with Russia like?
Atleast he won’t be in charge of Venezuela ITTL.
Anyways, I’m curious, is there a Spongebob Squarepants equivalent ITTL? And what is Stephen Hillenburg doing?
Some ideas for the other guys:
- Gacy works as a politician in Chicago and is open about being queer, but ends up being outed as a pervert which ends his career.
- Cosby serves and dies in combat in the Navy, or pursues a basketball career instead of comedy.
- Savile either dies in a freak accident in a coal mine explosion, or he is caught and arrested in the 1950s or 1960s and is known as a serial rapist instead of an entertainer of any kind.
Duarte III
Duarte III (born Duarte Pio João Miguel Gabriel Rafael in Petropolis, Brazil, 15 May 1945) is the reigning King of the Portuguese. He succeeded his father Duarte II on 24 December 1976. He hails from the House of Braganza.
The eldest son of Duarte II and Maria Franisca of Orléans-Bragança, Duarte was born in exile in Brazil, as his family was hosted by their then reigning cousins : the World War was raging in Europe, Portugal was part of the Confederation of Workers’ Republics and the restoration of the monarchy was a burgeoning project for the Portuguese government in exile in the Azores, as Sidonio Pais had just passed away. Portugal retrieved its independence in 1948 and the Constituent Assembly restored the monarchy the following year, allowing Duarte Pio to become Duke of Braganza.
Graduating from the Royal Agricultural College and serving as a helicopter pilot in the Portuguese Army, Duarte Pio, as heir, affirmed himself as a supporter of democracy, quietly lending his support to anti-Delgado elements and the federalization of Portugal. His accession as king on Christmas 1976, along with the passing of President of Council Humberto Delgado the following year, ushered an era of democracy for Portugal.
King Duarte III, although a devout Catholic, has made efforts not to exceed his reserve duty as monarch, refusing to appoint a President of Council contrary to the parliamentary majority and to call for early elections. He has however been constant in his upholding of democracy, lending part of his personal wealth to ease the poorest elements of Portuguese society after the 1983 krach and criticizing President of Council Simoes Ferreira’s policies, regarding the social consequences of her decisions. He is renowned as a firm supporter of “sister” Lusophone countries and the arts. His solemn conduct after the 2010 Lisbon terrorist attacks was universally noted. His working relationship with President of Council Matias, a New Left leader and a republican, was also heralded by many commentators, national and foreign.
Married to Archduchess Monica of Austria, a daughter of Grand Archduke Otto, he has three children, including the current Duke of Braganza and heir apparent, Afonso.
Thank you ! And here is your request !
It was a democratic revolution for Venezuela.
Serbia's relations with Russia are good, it's the main economic partner. Right now their main antics is oppressing Roms and being some sort of Viktor Orban on steroids.
Haven't thought of Spongebob still... Although Hillenburg is a fascinating figure.
I take the point for Gacy. As of Cosby and Savile, I must think of a higher justice...
SO MUCH THANKS! You're the best! Next do his father Duarte II please!
I’m getting some “Juan Carlos II, but not crooked” vibes from this man
