Oscar R. Benavides vs Owen Roe ONeill

Following the assassination of President Luis Miguel S

Benavides negotiated the Rio de Janeiro Protocol on May 24, 1934, ending the Colombia-Peru War over the Leticia region. The treaty confirmed Colombian sovereignty over Leticia, restoring peace and allowing Benavides to focus on domestic issues.

Benavides consolidated power by outlawing the APRA party and persecuting its members. He governed with authoritarian measures, including press censorship and the suppression of political opposition, maintaining stability through military control until 1939.

After leaving office in 1939, Benavides returned to the presidency in 1944 following a coup that ousted President Manuel Prado. He served a second term from 1944 to 1945, overseeing the transition to democratic elections before stepping down.

Owen Roe O'Neill returned to Ireland from Spanish military service to command the Ulster army of the Irish Confederate Catholics. His military experience and leadership were crucial in organizing the Confederate forces against the English Parliamentarians and Scottish Covenanters.

Owen Roe O'Neill, commanding the Irish Confederate forces, defeated a Scottish Covenanter army under Robert Monro at Benburb in County Tyrone. The victory was the most significant Irish military success of the Confederate Wars, securing Ulster for the Confederates.

O'Neill refused to accept the First Ormond Peace, a treaty between the Irish Confederates and the Royalists that he considered too favorable to the English. His opposition led to a split within the Confederate movement and weakened the Irish war effort.

Owen Roe O'Neill died at Cloughoughter Castle in County Cavan under suspicious circumstances, possibly poisoned. His death occurred just as Oliver Cromwell was launching his invasion of Ireland, depriving the Irish resistance of its most capable military leader.
