It Wasn't For Lack of Trying- Operation Rain Focus
    • Map-showing-the-delta-of-lower-Amazon-River-and-its-main-right-bank-tributaries (1).png
    Operation Rain Focus was a military operation undertaken by the United States Marine Corps under the orders of President Hubert Humphrey. The goal of the mission was to secure the Amazon River Delta on behalf of the pro-American Amazonas Indigenous Revolt. The operation occurred between December 13 and December 17, and was accomplished successfully with only 13 American casualties versus nearly 1,000 Brazilian casualties.

    Socialist Majority - 1959-1966
    Socialist-Communist Coalition - 1966-?

    Elections for the Parliament of Austria were held on March 6, 1966. The Incumbent government of Bruno Kreisky attempted to defend its majority. On election day, they would fail to do this, although they would comfortably win first place. President of the Republic Franz Jonas (also of the SPO) gave Kreisky the mandate to form a government on March 17, which Kreisky would accept. While most observers expected the Chancellor to begin negotiations for a grand coalition with the People's Party, he would shock the country by entering into an agreement with the Communist Party, presumably because it gave him more authority. The reaction to this would be fierce, with over a hundred thousand protesting the agreement in Vienna alone.

    • November 10, 1966 - Amazonas Presidential Election:
    1713659023446.png
    ✓Marina Cruz Menezes (PdPI) - 53.4%
    Luis Farias Salles (UR) - 27.5%
    Javier Tomas Rodrigues (PT) - 13.6%

    PRESIDENTS OF THE AMAZONAS REPUBLIC:
    Joint Leadership - March 1962 - January 1967
    Marina Cruz Menezes (PdPI) - January 1967 -     January 1972

    Elections for the newly-created Presidency of Amazonas were held on November 10, 1966. Three parties contested the race- the democratic socialist Indigenous People's Party, the big-tent liberal Republican Union, and the Libertarian Socialist Worker's Party. 47 year-old Marina Cruz Menezes, one of the members of the joint leadership council, would easily win the election on a platform of upholding democracy and redistribution of wealth.
