Guillermo Endara vs Vyacheslav Molotov

Guillermo Endara, running as the candidate of the opposition coalition ADOC, won the Panamanian presidential election against Manuel Noriega's candidate. The election was marred by fraud and violence, and the results were subsequently annulled by Noriega's regime.

Following the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989, Endara was sworn in as President at a U.S. military base. His presidency was initially seen as legitimate by the international community, but he faced challenges of rebuilding the country after the invasion.

Endara served as President from 1989 to 1994. His administration focused on economic recovery, dismantling Noriega's military apparatus, and strengthening democratic institutions. He faced criticism for corruption and slow progress, but oversaw the transition to a civilian government.

As Soviet Foreign Minister, Molotov signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany on August 23, 1939. The non-aggression treaty included secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe into spheres of influence, enabling the Soviet invasion of Poland and Baltic states.

Molotov was appointed People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs in May 1939, replacing Maxim Litvinov. He served as Stalin's chief diplomat during World War II and the early Cold War, representing the Soviet Union at major conferences including Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam.

Molotov attended the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945 as part of the Soviet delegation. He participated in negotiations on post-war Europe, including the division of Germany, reparations, and the establishment of communist governments in Eastern Europe.

After Stalin's death, Molotov opposed Khrushchev's de-Stalinization policies. He was expelled from the Communist Party in 1962 for factional activity, ending his political career. He was later readmitted in 1984 but never regained influence.
