Caupolican vs Mike Hoare

Caupolican was chosen as toqui (war leader) by the Mapuche elders after the death of Lautaro. He organized the resistance against Spanish forces in the Arauco War, leading a large army to continue the fight for Mapuche independence.

Caupolican was captured by Spanish forces after a betrayal. He was sentenced to death by impalement, a brutal execution method. His death ended his leadership of the Mapuche resistance, but he became a symbol of indigenous defiance.

Hoare was hired by the Congolese government to command 5 Commando, a unit of white mercenaries. His mission was to suppress the Simba rebellion, which he did with brutal efficiency, earning the nickname 'Mad Mike'.

Hoare's 5 Commando participated in Operation Dragon Rouge, a joint Belgian-US mission to rescue hostages held by Simba rebels in Stanleyville. The operation successfully freed hundreds of hostages but resulted in many rebel casualties.

Hoare led a group of mercenaries in an attempt to overthrow the government of the Seychelles. The coup failed when the mercenaries were discovered at the airport, leading to a shootout and their eventual capture or escape.

After the failed Seychelles coup, Hoare and his men hijacked an Air India plane to escape. He was arrested in South Africa, tried for hijacking, and sentenced to prison, though he was released after a few years.
