A bit of an Australia-centric timeline here, but nonetheless:
J.T. "Jack" Lang was Premier of New South Wales from 1930-32, during the height of the Depression. His radical left-wing policies drew the ire of the New Guard, an ultra-conservative paramilitary organisation operating semi-clandestinely across New South Wales, who believes Lang should be removed, by force if necessary.
OTL, Lang was dismissed by the Governor of NSW, Sir Phillip Game, on 13 May 1932 in response to actions undertaken by the Lang government. It later transpired that the New Guard had been plotting a coup attempt during this crisis.
So, WHAT IF Game did not sack Lang, and the coup attempt had gone ahead?
