Lal Krishna Advani vs Vittorio Orlando

Lal Krishna Advani led the Ram Rath Yatra, a political-religious procession from Somnath to Ayodhya, to mobilize support for building a Ram temple at the disputed Babri Masjid site. The yatra sparked communal tensions and was stopped by the Bihar government.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Union Minister of Home Affairs in the Vajpayee government, serving until 2004. He oversaw internal security, including the Kargil War (1999) and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of India in the Vajpayee government, serving until 2004. He also held the Home Ministry portfolio, overseeing internal security during a period of communal violence.

Lal Krishna Advani was appointed Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha after the BJP's defeat in the 2004 general election. He served in this role until 2009, leading the opposition against the UPA government.

Lal Krishna Advani resigned as President of the Bharatiya Janata Party after the party's defeat in the 2009 general election. He took responsibility for the electoral loss, though he remained a senior leader.

Orlando represented Italy at the Paris Peace Conference as prime minister. He demanded the fulfillment of the Treaty of London, including Fiume and Dalmatia. President Wilson opposed these claims, leading to Orlando's walkout and eventual resignation in June 1919.

Orlando's successor signed the treaty that formally ended WWI with Austria. Italy gained Trentino, South Tyrol, and Istria, but not Fiume or Dalmatia. The perceived 'mutilated victory' fueled nationalist resentment and contributed to the rise of Fascism.
