Konishi Yukinaga vs Soeharto

Konishi Yukinaga converted to Roman Catholicism under the influence of Jesuit missionaries. He became a Christian daimyo, supporting missionary work and building churches in his domain.

Konishi Yukinaga led the Japanese vanguard in the invasion of Korea, capturing Busan and advancing to Seoul and Pyongyang. His forces faced resistance from Korean and Ming Chinese armies, leading to a stalemate.

Konishi Yukinaga's forces were defeated by a combined Korean and Ming Chinese army at Byeokjegwan near Seoul. This battle forced the Japanese to retreat from Pyongyang and negotiate a truce.

Konishi Yukinaga fought on the Western Army side under Ishida Mitsunari at Sekigahara. His forces were defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army, leading to his capture and execution.

Soeharto received the Supersemar order from President Sukarno, granting him authority to restore order after the 30 September Movement. This marked the beginning of his rise to power.

Soeharto was inaugurated as acting president, replacing Sukarno. He formally became president in 1968, beginning the New Order regime that lasted 32 years.

Soeharto ordered the invasion of East Timor following its declaration of independence. The occupation resulted in widespread human rights abuses and an estimated 100,000-200,000 deaths.

Soeharto resigned as president after massive protests triggered by the Asian Financial Crisis. His resignation ended the New Order regime and led to democratic reforms.
