October 2, 1960 - Danish General Election:



PRIME MINISTERS OF DENMARK:
Erik Eriksen (V) - 1950-1953
Venstre-Conservative People's-Social Liberal-Justice Coalition - 1950-1953
Hans Hedtoft (SD) - 1953-1955
Social Democratic-Social Liberal Coalition - 1953-1955
H.C. Hansen (SD) - 1955-1956
Social Democratic-Social Liberal Coalition - 1955-1956
Jens Otto Krag (SD) - 1956-1960
Social Democratic-Social Liberal Coalition - 1956-1960
Social Democratic Minority - 1960-1960
Poul Hartling (V) - 1960-?
Venstre-Social Liberal-Justice Coalition - 1960-?

Over the past seven years, the Social Democratic coalition government pursued far-reaching social reforms, including the implementation of full universal healthcare and an array of tax credits to support families and businesses. The final push for land reform, however, proved to be too much for the Social Liberals, who withdrew support for their coalition and forced an election.

On election day, the Social Democrats would lose nearly a dozen seats, which combined with right wing losses enabled the formation of a Venstre-Social Liberal-Justice centrist coalition.

October 3, 1960 - Brazilian General Election:



PRESIDENTS OF BRAZIL:
Getulio Vargas (SD) - 1951-1955
Cafe Filho (SD) - 1955-1956
Luis Carlos Prestes (AL) - 1956-1959
Henrique Teixeira Lott (SD) - 1959-1960
Luis Carlos Prestes (AL) - 1960-?

Luis Carlos Prestes had been narrowly elected President in 1955, winning only 26% of the vote. Despite this, he had governed in a very left-wing manner, which led to his ouster in late 1959 by the military following his invitation to the Soviets to station troops on Brazilian soil. Despite his unpopularity and a terrible economy, the poor optics of a military coup enabled his narrow election to a second term.

PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
Robert Taft (R) - 1953-1954

Lyndon Johnson (D) - 1957-?

The 44th Quadrennial United States Presidential Election was held on November 8, 1960. Incumbent President Lyndon Johnson was re-elected over Senator Barry Goldwater. This was the first- and so far only- time in American history where a candidate has won all 50 states. Johnson's margin of 22 million votes remains the second largest of all time.

The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan was an armed conflict that took place between 1959 and 1961. It began following the Soviet invasion in May of 1959, and ended following the capitulation of (what was left of) Kabul nearly two years later. The Soviet prosecution of the war was brutal, with over the Soviet Air Force utilizing chemical and biological weapons on civilian targets. They would also adopt a scorched-earth approach, with villages thought to be supporting government-allied forces being burnt to the ground.

Surprisingly yes, but it's relatively narrow and the hole in congress is too deep to climb out of.

The Paris Peace Accords were a series of agreements signed between South Vietnam and North Vietnam that ended the Vietnam War. It was negotiated by U.S. Senator Maurine Neuberger and signed by South Vietnamese President Phan Khắc Sửu and North Vietnamese President Lê Đức Thọ, who had deposed the radical Maoist leadership earlier in the year. The terms of the treaty were as follows:

-Phan Khắc Sửu is declared President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, with national elections scheduled for January of 1963
-Lê Đức Thọ is declared Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and Governor of Hanoi, with elections scheduled for January of 1963
-The United States will invest $5 Billion in reconstruction efforts, split 50-50 between the two Vietnams
-All South Vietnamese laws are hereby applied to the North, including those relating to freedom of speech, association, and more

The treaty was seen by many as a success for the American 'Freedom Fighters' strategy, that essentially allowed countries to do whatever they want internally and still receive American assistance/immunity from coups as long as they didn't support the USSR. Following the treaty, Vietnam would become a democratic socialist, fiercely pro-American state, which it remains to this day (possibly even more so).
