Martin Vizcarra vs Princess Alice of the UK

Martín Vizcarra, then First Vice President, succeeded to the presidency after the resignation of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. His ascension was seen as a chance to restore public trust in government amid widespread corruption.

President Vizcarra dissolved the Peruvian Congress after it refused to hold a vote of confidence on his anti-corruption reforms. This triggered a constitutional crisis, but Vizcarra called for new legislative elections, which were held in 2020.

Vizcarra was impeached by the new Congress on charges of corruption and moral incapacity, and removed from office. His removal was highly controversial, with many seeing it as a political maneuver by the opposition, and it sparked widespread protests.

Princess Alice married Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. The marriage was a love match, and Alice became a popular figure in Hesse, known for her charitable work and modernizing influence.

Alice founded the Alice Hospital in Darmstadt, which provided medical care for the poor. She personally trained as a nurse and was actively involved in the hospital's operations, setting a precedent for royal philanthropy.

Alice established the Alice Society for Women's Education, which promoted vocational training and higher education for women. This was a progressive step in a conservative German state, though limited in scope.

Alice contracted diphtheria while nursing her children during an outbreak. She died on December 14, 1878, at the age of 35. Her death was widely mourned, and she was remembered for her humanitarian work.
