A 1930s-trained model, I'm surprised no-one's asked it about moustache-man, and the second moustache-man a bit further to the north-east.

Narrow mustache was leading a marginal party at the start of 1930 (Black tuesday happened only at the end of october 1929 so the Great Depression was only kinda starting) and his party "only" gained 18% of the popular in september of 1930, it's the years after that made his rise so with a start of 1930 cutoff he's still mostly a marginal player.

Broad mustache had risen to power, but only properly gotten rid of the other faction in his country the years before.

I tried asking it about Poland. But it seems to be in a pre-WWI mind.
