Alexis Tsipras vs U Nu

Tsipras led the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) to victory in the January 2015 Greek legislative election, winning 149 seats. He became the youngest Prime Minister in Greek history at age 40, on a platform opposing austerity measures imposed by the EU-IMF bailout.

After months of tense negotiations, Tsipras agreed to a third bailout program worth

Tsipras signed the Prespa Agreement with North Macedonia on June 17, 2018, resolving a decades-long naming dispute. The agreement required North Macedonia to change its name, ending Greek objections to its NATO and EU membership. It faced strong opposition in Greece but was ratified by parliament.

Tsipras and SYRIZA were defeated in the July 2019 Greek legislative election by the New Democracy party led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis. SYRIZA won 86 seats, a significant loss from 2015. This ended Tsipras's four-year premiership and returned center-right governance to Greece.

U Nu became the first Prime Minister of independent Burma (Myanmar) after the country gained independence from Britain. He led the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL) government.

U Nu adopted a policy of neutrality and non-alignment, refusing to join either the US or Soviet blocs. He hosted the first Afro-Asian Conference in Rangoon in 1955, promoting decolonization and peace.

U Nu was overthrown in a military coup led by General Ne Win. He was placed under house arrest and later exiled, ending his democratic experiment and ushering in decades of military rule.

During the 8888 Uprising, U Nu returned to politics and formed the League for Democracy and Peace. He attempted to challenge the military regime but was soon placed under house arrest again.
