Description:
"The black two years"

Official statistics state that 330 people were assassinated in addition to 213 failed attempts, and 1,511 people wounded in political violence. The Radical Republican Party's, with the support of CEDA, set about removing price controls, selling state favors and monopolies, and removing the land reforms (to the landowners' considerable advantage).
