Choe Kwang vs Rafael Trujillo

Choe Kwang succeeded O Jin-u as Minister of the People's Armed Forces, becoming the top military official in North Korea. He oversaw the Korean People's Army during the mid-1990s famine and the early years of Kim Jong-il's rule.

Choe Kwang was promoted to the rank of Marshal of the Korean People's Army, the highest military rank in North Korea. This promotion reflected his central role in the military hierarchy under Kim Jong-il.

Choe Kwang died while serving as Minister of the People's Armed Forces. His death led to a reshuffle in North Korea's military leadership, with Kim Il-chol succeeding him.

Trujillo, as commander of the National Army, staged a coup against President Horacio V

Trujillo ordered the massacre of Haitians living in the Dominican border region. Soldiers killed an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people using machetes. The event was named for the shibboleth used to distinguish Haitians from Dominicans.

Trujillo used state power to acquire control over the sugar industry, the country's main economic sector. He and his family became the largest landowners and sugar producers, enriching themselves while the state managed the industry.

Trujillo was ambushed and killed by a group of Dominican dissidents on a highway near Ciudad Trujillo. The assassination was aided by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, which provided weapons. His death ended the dictatorship.
