Enrico De Nicola vs Simon Vratsian

De Nicola was elected by the Constituent Assembly as the provisional head of state of Italy, serving as the first President of the Italian Republic. He oversaw the transition from monarchy to republic after the 1946 institutional referendum.

As head of state, De Nicola promulgated the new Constitution of the Italian Republic on December 27, 1947, which came into effect on January 1, 1948. The constitution established a parliamentary republic with democratic institutions.

De Nicola was elected as the first President of the Italian Republic by the Parliament in joint session. He served until May 1948, when he was succeeded by Luigi Einaudi, having established the presidency as a stable institution.

Vratsian became the last Prime Minister of the First Republic of Armenia on November 23, 1920, during the final weeks of independence. He led the government during the Turkish-Armenian War and the subsequent Soviet invasion.

Vratsian led the February Uprising against Soviet rule in Armenia in February 1921, briefly re-establishing an independent government in Yerevan. The rebellion was crushed by the Red Army in April 1921, forcing Vratsian into exile.

After the failure of the February Uprising, Vratsian became a leading figure of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnak) in the diaspora, organizing political activities and humanitarian aid for Armenian refugees.

Vratsian died in Los Angeles on May 21, 1969, after decades of exile. He remained active in Armenian diaspora politics and wrote extensively on Armenian history.
