Portuguese history since world war ii until today
Portugal transitioned from a dictatorship to a republic in 1974. The dictatorship had been in power since 1933 and remained neutral in World War II, though supporting Hitler and Mussolini ideologically. It faced resistance to its colonial wars in Africa in the 1960s-70s. A military coup in 1974 established the republic and democracy. Portugal has since joined the EU and experienced economic growth, though it also faced economic crisis and resulting emigration in recent decades.

Turkish hypocrisy
Recently, the Turkish PM, Recep Tayip Erdogan lashed out at Israel and made vicious statements accusing it of “massacre” in the wake of the Gaza bound “flotilla of hate” originating from Turkey (9 terror supporting activists, most of them Turkish citizens, where killed when the IDF opened fire on violent, murderous activists).
The Turkish hypocrisy is overwhelming, in view of its horrendous past genocidal acts and more recent acts of murder and destruction. This is a reminder of Turkey’s recent history.

However, it is only a secondary source so cannot provide first-hand experiences or details.

Churchill and Roosevelt had a close friendship during WWII, meeting over 11 times and exchanging over 1,700 letters. They worked closely together to secure aid for Britain through Lend-Lease and ensure the USA joined the war against Germany and Japan.

Their disagreements centered on France's role and territories in the postwar world. While Churchill advocated for French interests, he saw de Gaulle as a threat to European peace and an obstacle to postwar cooperation.

How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation.
