Huang Oudong (An Alternate East Asia)

Huang Oudong (5 July 1905 – 18 November) was a South Korean politician and general who served as the President of Manchuria from 1960 until his assassination in 1978, assuming that office after first ruling the country as head of a military junta installed by the Anti-Qilong Coup of 1958. Before his presidency, he was the chairman of the Manchurian Council for a Manchurian Rebirth from 1958 to 1960 after a career as a military leader in the Manchurian army serving as the head of the Manchurian Army in Mukden.

Huang's coup brought an end to the very corrupt and ineffective dictatorship of Zhang Qilong and his election to the Presidency in 1960 completely legitimized his rule of the country. He established a dictatorship in 1966 when he imposed martial law and a crisis of war on the country further increasing his presidential power.
