Magdalena Andersson vs Manuel Prado Ugarteche

Magdalena Andersson was elected Prime Minister of Sweden, becoming the first woman to hold the office. She succeeded Stefan Lofven and led a Social Democratic minority government, focusing on welfare, climate policy, and security.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Andersson's government, in a historic shift, decided to apply for NATO membership alongside Finland. This ended Sweden's long-standing policy of military non-alignment.

Andersson's Social Democrats lost the general election to the centre-right opposition bloc. She resigned as Prime Minister, though her party remained the largest single party in the Riksdag.

Manuel Prado Ugarteche won the 1939 presidential election as the candidate of the conservative coalition, succeeding General

Prado aligned Peru with the Allies during World War II, breaking diplomatic relations with the Axis powers in 1942 and allowing the U.S. to use Peruvian air bases. He also promoted economic cooperation with the United States, benefiting from wartime demand for Peruvian exports.

After an eight-year hiatus, Prado won the 1956 presidential election as the candidate of the Pradist Democratic Movement. He took office on July 28, 1956, for a second term, this time with the support of the APRA party, which he had previously opposed.

During his second term, Prado signed the Agrarian Reform Law in 1960, which aimed to redistribute land to peasants. Although limited in scope, it was a precursor to more extensive reforms later and addressed some rural inequalities.
