Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur (January 26, 1880 – April 5, 1963) was a political and military figure who served as a President-for-Life of the unrecognized government-in-exile of the United States of America on Cuba and leader of the National Salvation Front until his death in 1963.

First Secretary Nicholas Longworth appointed Army Lieutenant General MacArthur as the Secretary of War in 1932 a position which was used by MacArthur to gather anti-Communist officers under his banner and intimidate President Herbert Hoover and First Secretary into supporting the potential coup against President-elect Norman Thomas. The coup occurred on 1 February 1933 during which self-proclaimed Commander-in-chief declared the state of emergency and attempted to arrest the whole leadership of Workers' Communist Party on the basis of encouraging insurrection. This move provoked a militant response from the support base of Communists, starting a civil war, during which the newly-founded Communist United Republics overcame MacArthur's forces.

Following his defeat in the civil war, MacArthur escaped with his supporters to Cuba, establishing a fascist dictatorial regime on the island that represented the unrecognized government-in-exile of the old United States. During World War II, MacArthur sided with the Allies against the Axis powers, contributing to the downfall of Integralist Brazil. He remained the President of American Havana until his death on April 5, 1963.
