coup d'etat

The Newburgh conspiracy was an attempt by a few Revolutionary war officers and Soldiers to stage a Mutiny to seize Philadelphia, possibly overthrowing the Continental congress. What would have happened if it had succeeded in this?

The 1945 coup d'état was a civic-military coup d'état in Venezuela against the government of President Isaías Medina Angarita, carried out by a coalition of the Armed Forces and the Democratic Action political party on October 18 that would start the Trieno Adeco. But what would have happened if...

In 1974, Brigadier Charles Arube led an attempted military coup against the government of Idi Amin. The Arube uprising, as it was later known, was initially successful, capturing much of Kampala. However, Arube was shot dead by Amin shortly after entering Amin's headquarters, causing the...

Let's say the government of Adnan Menderes isn't so obviously authoritarian (maybe he doesn't incite the Istanbul Pogrom, for example) and the military allows him and the Democrat Party to stay in power. What would be the effects of that? I assume the 1971 and 1980 coups are butterflied, for...

(Please note: this is not my original creation. This alternate history take is from the movie "Jin-Roh") In this alternate timeline, the point of divergence apparently happens before WWI. To start things off, the U.S. keeps its Monroe doctrine and stays out of the war. However, Germany still...

So, I've been reading around and I've found a very interesting piece of history. According to this historic journal, the weeks previous to the Munich conference were among the most perilous for Adolf Hitler's position as Fuhrer. Many people feared that his intentions to acquire the Sudetenland...

So, basically, assume that anytime between the Suez Crisis and De Gaulle's pronunciamento in response to General Salan's invitation into government in may 1958, De Gaulle suffers a stroke and dies, or is murdered. What happens to the agonizing political climate of the later French Fourth...

Hi This is my first post in this forum, although I have read many threads before, so apologies if I make some mistakes. The topic that presently interests me is the Iranian Revolution, which happened exactly 40 years ago. I read that as the Shah was preparing to leave the country, his top...

What if Yuan Shikai overthrew the Qing Dynasty in a Coup détat around during or after the Boxer Rebellion, and declare himself Emperor. How would Foreign Powers react to this Coup? Would Yuan Shiaki modernize his new Empire of China like Japan Would he create a constitutional monarchy?

Operation Ajax, known in Iran as the Mordad Coup, was a coup d'état orchestrated in Iran by the Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, British oil companies, and elements of the CIA and MI6. It deposed the populist-nationalist and allegedly pro-Soviet prime minister of the country, Mohammed Mossadegh, and...

So, the scenario is as it follows: Operation Michael is a success, and the germans capture Amiens. The Allies, though forced to fall back, manage to stabilize the frontlines. They stay on the defensive, waiting for american reinforcements. Germany, in their position of strenght, try to force...

Been looking through WI threads on post-1900s Iran on the CIA coup on Mossadegh, as well as the Iranian Revolution, and I was wondering in what ways could Iran be pulled to the Soviet sphere. There was already grounds for it, such as the Tudeh party, but there did not seem to be any leaders who...

Let's say Gringo Honasan's Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM) alongside other rebellious soldiers managed to overthrow Corazon Aquino in December 1989. This would mean no U.S. involvement. What happens next? Post your thoughts here.

I'm curious, if we take as granted that chilean military junta were able to prepare and launch their 1973 coup, could any imaginable kind of more active and avanturistic Soviet government salvage anything in the first hours? I can remember many interviews with expelled or rogue pro-Allende...

I was wondering for some time but what would happen if the American Government was overthrown by a coup? What would be the international and domestic reaction if elements of the US armed forces moved to overthrow the U.S. Government? How would the nations of the world and the US public react...

The Jamaat al Muslimeen coup attempt was an attempt to overthrow the government of Trinidad and Tobago, instigated on Friday, 27 July 1990, by the militant Islamist group Jamaat al Muslimeen, in which 114 members of the Jamaat al Muslimeen attempted to stage a coup against the government of...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Galaxia If the two officers involved say decided to stay loyal to the cause, how would the coup go? it would have likely to have failed as much as OTL's 23-F one did, yet would have effected the political landscape at the time given the circumstances.

Introduction With the conclusion of the 1938 Munich agreement there was a collective sigh of relief from both Germany and Britain and France, but now Adolf Hitler had his eye on Poland which contained the small League of Nations mandate or "Free City" Danzig and other territories that...

Let's assume that the military coup succeeded, key figures of the government were arrested and the goverment was overthrown. (Assuming that the government had no time to rally the people against the armed putsch.) What would happen after this?

This Tree of Liberty, a Trunk of Hickory Colonel Neville Hammond could barely hear. The roar of the guns had sent his eardrums into a state of nervous collapse, huddling in on themselves and ringing like all the bells in St. Luke’s Cathedral. The campaign had been short but grueling. He had...
