The First Republic under Jan Wapamiathe (1937-1959) began with a coup in 1937, as Wapamiathe capitalized on anti-Tussenlander sentiment to seize power. During his rule, Wapamiathe nationalized the oil industry and enacted various cultural reforms. After his death in 1949, the Democratic Opdamsland era (1949-1958) followed, characterized by liberalization and regional integration. However, the new government's policies alienated the military, leading to a military junta in 1958. The Association of North American Nations (ANAN) chose not to intervene, prioritizing regional stability over the restoration of democracy in Opdamsland.
From 1963 to 1966, despite the ruling junta's control, pro-democracy movements resurged in Opdamsland, with activists and students campaigning for democratic governance. This rise in democratic sentiment, highlighted by a major protest and subsequent government crackdown in 1966, garnered international attention and outcry. In response to the junta's human rights abuses, prominent campaigns in countries like New Netherland and Mexico pressured the ANAN community to act. While initially hesitant, fearing a breach of regional cooperation principles, ANAN eventually imposed economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation against Opdamsland from 1969 to 1970, driven by initiatives from New Netherland and Mexico.
Yielding to these pressures, the junta capitulated in 1970, ushering in a new democratic era. The new democratic government that followed initiated reforms, particularly capitalizing on the booming oil industry for economic growth. However, this reliance on oil also tied the nation's economic stability to global market trends. By the mid-1980s, similar to other oil-dependent countries, Opdamsland experienced a currency crisis due to this vulnerability, prompting demands for further economic reforms.
