Twenty Questions Game 156

[han-shahanshah]

Neither Dom Pedro II nor Simon Bolivar.

And not born in Brazil. That’s fourteen.

[cdngooner]

Please refer to rule 3 - don't ask "conditional" questions.

Hardly a conditional question. If I'm correct, game over. If not, its my question.

Also Rule 3 doesn't prohibit conditional questions. It just clarifies that they will be counted as questions. Which is precisely my intention if my free guess is not correct.

Carry on.

11 and 12 were actually the same question, even though they were answered by OP in two different posts. So we're at 14. 15 counting your most recent one.

[han-shahanshah]

Did he die a natural death?

Indeed he did.

Is he from a Spanish-speaking country whose modern flag prominently features the colours Yellow, Blue, and Red?

(N.B. Whatever answer is given should narrow us down to 3 countries).

He is not. Very close now!

[Hominidae]

Free guess: Víctor Andrés Belaúnde?

Ok so we already knew this South American person is NOT from:

Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Chile
Paraguay
Uruguay

That leaves:

Colombia
Ecuador
Guyana
Peru
Surinam
Venezuela

Of those:

Colombia - Spanish - Yellow / Blue / Red flag
Ecuador - Spanish - Yellow / Blue / Red flag
Guyana - English, Creole - Yellow / Red / Green flag
Peru - Spanish - Red and White flag
Suriname - Dutch - Red / Green / White flag
Venezuela - Spanish - Yellow / Blue / Red flag

Therefore he is from Guyana, Peru, or Suriname. Most likely Peru if I had to guess.

[Jamiet99uk]

Free guess: Víctor Andrés Belaúnde?

I'm not a expert but his Wikipedia entry doesn't mention any kind of military role at all, so surely it can't be him?

[Jamiet99uk]

I don't know enough about Peruvian political history to be able to make a guess.

Therefore he is from Guyana, Peru, or Suriname. Most likely Peru if I had to guess.

Could also be from French Guiana or the Falkland Islands.

[Temasek22]

Has this person previously served as President or Prime Minister of Peru?

[han-shahanshah]

Free guess: Víctor Andrés Belaúnde?

Pretty good guess. Not him.

Has this person previously served as President or Prime Minister of Peru?

Nope. Those would fall under either elected position or officially military.

[Hanging Rook]

Was the respective state independent at the day of his birth?

[Temasek22]

Nope. Those would fall under either elected position or officially military.

I thought he may have coup'ed. Worth a shot

[damo666]

Simon Bolivar, president of Gran Colombia

I hope not, because that was my first inkling. However, in my mind, Bolivar was very much a general.

And born prior to 1800

[Spartaculous]

Pedro Paulet looks to be quite interesting, so I will guess him.

[han-shahanshah]

Was the respective state independent at the day of his birth?

Could you clarify?
