Abdel Hakim Amer vs Floriano Peixoto

Abdel Hakim Amer was appointed commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Army by President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Amer was a close friend of Nasser and played a key role in the 1952 revolution and subsequent military policies.

As field marshal and commander-in-chief, Amer led Egypt's military during the Six-Day War against Israel. The war ended in a catastrophic defeat, with Israel capturing the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, and other territories.

After the devastating defeat in the Six-Day War, Amer resigned as commander-in-chief and vice president. He was later placed under house arrest and accused of plotting a coup against Nasser.

Amer died in September 1967, officially by suicide, while under house arrest. Many believe he was killed on Nasser's orders to eliminate a political rival. His death marked the end of a key figure in Nasser's inner circle.

Floriano Peixoto became President of Brazil on November 23, 1891, after Deodoro da Fonseca's resignation. As Vice President, he assumed office under the constitution, but his rule was marked by authoritarianism.

Peixoto faced the Federalist Revolution in Rio Grande do Sul, a civil war between federalists and republicans. The conflict lasted until 1895, with Peixoto's forces ultimately victorious, but at high cost.

Floriano Peixoto completed his term as president on November 15, 1894, handing power to Prudente de Morais. He was the first Brazilian president to serve a full term, despite governing under a state of siege.
