The de facto sovereignty will thus, eventually procure de jure sovereignty. The principal criteria of de jure sovereignty within the State are success, the passage of time, and the establishment of a tradition. There is also another very important form of external recognition, the willingness of other States to exchange ambassadors and establish diplomatic relations. The most recent examnple is recognition of the Baltic States which had seceded from the erstwhile Soviet Union and declared themselves independent and Sovereign states. Withholding of recognition by a great power may contribute to the fall of a de facto Sovereign power. Woodrow Wilson practically doomed the regime of Victoriana Huerta in Mexico in 1913 by refusing recognition Customarily, recognition is granted to any regime indicating capacity to rule, as in the case of Bangladesh and Afghanistan. India was the first country to recognise both the new regimes. Occasionally, however, there may be opposition to a regime for the manner it captured power as in the case of Hureta, or for the philosophy underlying the new government as in the case of the Soviet Russia and the People's Republic of China.
