Can you guess the historical figures I drew?

These are caricatures of country leaders from the second half of the 20th century. Can you guess who they are?

By the way, I drew these from memory. After checking their actual photos, I concluded my memory kinda betrayed me, but I think they're still recognizable, except maybe D and F. Next time I'll draw while looking at photos instead of trying to do it from memory.

    Ok, here's some hints:

    All of these were leading their respective countries at some point after WW2 - except for G, who started to lead his country before WW2, and continued to do so for many years after.
    Furthermore, F lead his country in two separate occasions after WW2, with decades of interval between them.

    C, D and G lead European countries.

    B and H lead non-aligned countries.

    F lead a Latin American country.

    C and F rose to power immediately at the end of WW2.

    The one missing is D.
    Another anon already guessed that he's French.
    I'll give you 3 hints:
    - He was prime minister and then president
    - He died suddenly
    - There's a French museum named after him

    All this info should make it very easy to find out who he is.

      Ok, so D and F were kinda bad so I made new versions of them.

    Hello everyone!

    I just drew new caricatures, and this time I actually looked at photos of the historical figures instead of drawing from memory like the first time.

    Also, this time the letters are the initials of the figures' last names. But beware that G had more than one last name (G being the initial of his first last name) and Y might be I depending on how you translate his name to our alphabet.

    All of them lead their countries (meaning they were either presidents or prime ministers) during the second half of the 20th century (1950-2000). In fact, there's at least one figure for each one of the 5 decades of that period.

    Hints:

    Mr W was leader of his country in two separate occasions (he lead the opposition during the interval). He was the first average person (not noble, not rich) to hold his office. He pioneered the use of television to bullshit, I mean, to communicate directly with the people.

    Mr G was, at that time, the youngest person ever to hold his office. He played accordion and was personal friends with a delusional African dictator. He failed to be reelected and his farewell speech (upon his electoral defeat) is infamous for how passive-aggressive butthurt he was.

    Mr K lead his country for a very long time (though I think a very recent successor of his might have surpassed his time in power, not sure). When he first came to power, he only lead one half of his nation, but by the time he left, he ruled the whole country.

    Mr E was a general during WW2.

    Mr M lead his country in two separate occasions. He made an agreement with his country's communist party. After he left office, he was kidnapped and murdered by a terrorist group. After reading this you might think he lead a third world country, but surprisingly that's not the case.

    Mr Y had a problem with alcohol.

    (I think E and Y don't need many hints, they're famous).

      Only the first one (Mr. "W") is missing.

      I'll give you a new hint about W: during his leadership, his country's pop culture, specially music, became extremely influential all over the world, even in the US.
