Esteira: Difference between revisions

[[Leonardo Menezes]], head of the [[NationalEsteiran LiberalPeople's Party of Esteira]], was elected to be the country’s first president on March 31, 1921 and took power on May 1, 1921. While the peace was shaky, many within Esteira had hope the republic would last and bring stability to the territory. Menezes would go on to win a second term as president in 1926; he ran for a third term in 1931 election and lost to [[Isac Bastos]]. Bastos was inaugurated on May 1, 1931 and became Esteira’s second president. Esteira’s republic continued successfully for decades, evolving into a two-party system where elections were contested by the right-wing [[Esteiran People's Party]] (PPE) and left-wing [[National Liberal Party of Esteira|National Liberal Party]] (PLN) with peaceful transfers of power occurring between the two.
