Asai Nagamasa vs Henri Namphy

Nagamasa formed an alliance with Oda Nobunaga by marrying his sister, Oichi. This alliance strengthened both clans and allowed Nagamasa to expand his territory in Omi Province.

Nagamasa's forces, allied with the Asakura clan, were defeated by Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Anegawa. This defeat weakened his position.

Nagamasa broke his alliance with Oda Nobunaga and joined the anti-Nobunaga coalition led by the Azai and Asakura clans. This act led to war with Nobunaga.

Nagamasa was besieged at Odani Castle by Oda Nobunaga's forces. He committed seppuku after the castle fell, ending the Asai clan's resistance.

Henri Namphy became head of the National Council of Government (CNG) on February 7, 1986, after President Jean-Claude Duvalier fled Haiti. The CNG was a military junta that promised democratic reforms.

Namphy's CNG oversaw the drafting of a new constitution, approved by referendum in March 1987. However, the November 1987 presidential election was violently disrupted by the military, leading to its cancellation.

Namphy led a military coup on June 20, 1988, overthrowing President Leslie Manigat, whom he had previously allowed to take office. Namphy then reinstated himself as head of state, dissolving the elected government.

Namphy was himself deposed in a coup led by General Prosper Avril on September 17, 1988. His brief return to power ended after only three months, as internal military divisions led to his ouster.
