Floriano Peixoto vs Kim Yong-chol

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.

Kim Yong-chol was appointed Director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB), North Korea's primary intelligence agency. He oversaw espionage operations and cyber warfare, including the alleged Sony Pictures hack in 2014.

Kim Yong-chol led the North Korean delegation to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. This was a key step in the inter-Korean rapprochement that led to the 2018 summit between Kim Jong-un and Moon.

Kim Yong-chol served as North Korea's chief negotiator in talks with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He traveled to Washington D.C. and New York to discuss denuclearization and the planned summit between Kim Jong-un and President Trump.

Kim Yong-chol accompanied Kim Jong-un to the second U.S.-North Korea summit in Hanoi, Vietnam. He was a key advisor during the talks, which ultimately collapsed without an agreement on denuclearization and sanctions relief.
