Line 102:
During the period of 1890–1938, millions of Nyobians died as a consequence of exploitation and disease. In some areas the population declined dramatically – it has been estimated that sleeping sickness and smallpox killed nearly half the population in the areas surrounding the Nyo Lake.
=== Nyobiburg (1943-1960) ===
In 1943, the Kuthern parliament, in spite of initial reluctance, bowed to international pressure and took over the Nyobi-Kuthern Federation from the Royal Family.
In Late 1943, the Kuthern parliament voted in favor of annexing the Nyo as a Kuthern colony. Executive power went to the Kuthern minister of colonial affairs while the Kuthern parliament exercised legislative authority over Nyobiburg. Opening up the Nyo and its natural and mineral riches to the Kuthern economy remained the main motive for colonial expansion however, other priorities, such as healthcare and basic education, slowly gained in importance.
=== Independence ===
In 1960, a growing nationalist movement, the Noyobi Socialist Movement led by Juandré De Klerk, won the parliamentary elections. Juandré De Klerk thus became the first Prime Minister of the Central Gondwanan Republic Of Nyo, then known as the Gondwanan Nyo. The parliament elected Gerhardus Du Toit as President, of the Alliance Northeast party. Other parties that emerged included the Pan-Gondwanan Liberation led by Bayode Murray.
Shortly after independence the Noyobi Socialist mutinied, and on October 15th the province of Basnha and South Noras engaged in secessionist struggles against the new leadership. Most of the 320,000 Kutherns who had remained behind after independence fled the country, opening the way for Nyobi to replace the Kuthern military and administrative elite.
Events set in motion by the Peoples Republic Of Kuthernburg and Central Republic of Nyo on November 6th removed Klerk from office with forces loyal to Bayode Murray. On March 8th 1961, he was handed over to Basnha authorities and executed by Kuthern-led Basnha troops.
With financial support from Peoples Republic Of Kuthernburg and Vistaraland, Murray paid his soldiers privately. A constitutional referendum the year before Murray coup of 1967 resulted in the country's official name being changed to the "Central Gondwanan Republic Of Nyo." In 1974 Murray changed the name again, this time to "Republic of Nyaira"
