Facing growing opposition, Rojas Pinilla attempted to extend his rule through a manipulated constituent assembly. This prompted a bipartisan pact between Liberals and Conservatives, leading to his overthrow and the establishment of the National Front power-sharing agreement.

A military junta overthrew Rojas Pinilla on May 10, 1957, after a general strike and widespread protests. He went into exile in Spain, ending his four-year dictatorship. The junta handed power to civilian leaders under the National Front.

Rojas Pinilla ran for president as the candidate of the National Popular Alliance (ANAPO). He narrowly lost to Misael Pastrana in an election widely alleged to have been fraudulent, leading to the formation of the M-19 guerrilla group.

Kara Mustafa Pasha was appointed Grand Vizier by Sultan Mehmed IV. He became the most powerful official in the empire, overseeing military campaigns and administrative reforms.

Kara Mustafa Pasha led the Ottoman army in the Siege of Vienna, aiming to capture the Habsburg capital. The siege failed after a relief force led by John III Sobieski of Poland defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Vienna.

After the failure at Vienna, Kara Mustafa Pasha was executed by order of Sultan Mehmed IV. His head was sent to the sultan as proof of his death, marking a dramatic fall from power.
