The Coup	comment	A coup is essentially a seizure of power by force, blackmail, or other illegal manners. In fiction, it is usually done by the military, or an Evil Chancellor at the head of a Decadent Court; in some cases, uncivilized bands of revolutionaries will also take power for themselves. It is a very risky gambit, and often includes plotting, securing alliances, and keeping it in the dark until the coup happens. Alternatively, guy walks into the throne room waving a sword around telling everyone he's king. Often leads to The Purge. If the one carrying out the coup is in turn overthrown himself, you may have a Revolving Door Revolution. If it happens in your own country and results in a dictatorial fascist/communist regime arising, it's a Day of the Jackboot. Short for coup d'Ã©tat, or "stroke of state" (which in practice means "blow against the state"), this is a very useful trope to exemplify a significant change or instability of a nation or region, stable countries tend to not be as susceptible to coups and power grabs, while unstable (in modern day terms, third-world also works), and relatively new countries are vulnerable to power struggles and coups. Different from a Revolution, whether it will not be vilified or civilized, in that it typically happens from inside the government or military of the country whose power is being seized, while revolutions typically come out of the common folk. Coups tend to not have large battles or start a war, but are an isolated event that will, at most, kill dozens of leaders. Also different from an invasion for similar reasons; invasions come from outside the country, coups happen inside of it, even if the initial plot comes from, or is aided by, the outside. When the coup is led by a military officer with the backing of the army and institutes martial rule, it's a Military Coup. Many coups in Real Life tend to be of this type, but note that a coup need not be led by a military officer. Sometimes, even the actual ruler can pull off a coup if it involves seizing power he doesn't normally have — this is known as an autogolpe, or "self-coup" (for example if a President isn't re-elected, but decides to disregard this and try to keep himself in power illegally). Compare Regime Change, when the leadership of a foreign country is removed against its will at the behest of one of their neighbors. If it happens within the military only, see The Mutiny. noreallife Examples

The Coup / int_10074ca6	comment	The Falcon Cannot Hear: Done several times among the factions, with varying degrees of success. Douglas MacArthur leads one after the Bonus Army kill the President and Vice-President. At first, it's mostly successful, with a good amount of state governments acknowledging his authority, but then General George Moseley leads a counter-coup. It fails, and he defects to the Whites, but he brings a good amount of the army with him. This causes the Khakis to lose much of their national support, and they're reduced to D.C., the Rockies, and overseas possessions. Happens to the Reds when General-Secretary Earl Browder puts Premier William Z. Foster under arrest after the east coast soviets split and form the Popular Front with the Blues and again after Browder orders the arrest of the newly defected Eisenhower. This causes the Red Guard, fed up with Browder's concern for "ideological purity" over actually winning the war, to arrest him and put Fosterite John Williamson in charge, who promptly organizes a truce with the Popular Front and Red Oak Pact. Happens to the Whites as well when a group of generals, worried about the amount of control fascist paramilitaries have over the government, try to take control. It fails when one of the generals, George S. Patton, betrays the coup due to fears that it will weaken the Whites overall and embolden the Reds and Blues. All the generals are promptly executed, with the exception of Eisenhower, who Patton was able to protect. This causes Ike to defect to the Reds. Omar Bradley convinces General Humphrey to resign, and takes control of the Khaki forces in the Rockies. He allows Red Oak Pact forces to cross his territory so they can fight the Japanese.

The Coup / int_14060d41	comment	In the Fate of the Jedi eries, former Imperial Admiral Daala, a Big Bad from some previous Star Wars novels, gets elected Chief of State because she helped stop Jacen's rampage in the previous series. She wastes no time abusing her office, purging anyone who from the government and military who once fought against her. She even starts arresting several Jedi, including Luke Skywalker. The Jedi and the Senate both eventually decide that she is becoming too much like a dictator, so they arrest her. Unfortunately, the Senate and the Jedi are unaware that a small group of Senators and Imperial Moffs have been secretly plotting to restore the Empire, or that the Lost Tribe of the Sith have actually infiltrated the government (including the Senate) and are plotting their own coup.

Twilight, logical and by-the-book as always, goes about this by holding a forum and offering logical arguments for why the royal sisters should cede the throne to her. It later turns out that The Nightmare still wants a violent coup, and sheâ€™s manipulating Twilight to that end. However, Twilight is freed from the possession before anything can come of this.

The Coup / int_230b3240	comment	A recurring feature of the Jack Ryan series. In order of publication: Not featured, but mentioned as part of the background of The Hunt for Red October: the (fictional) Soviet leader, Andrey Narmonov, is implied to have come to power in a coup against his (real life) predecessor, Mikhail Andropov, with the support of the military, which resented Andropov's KGB ties, and the Communist Party hard-liners, who resented Andropov's efforts at reform. (Ironically, Narmonov would go on to become the series' stand-in for Mikhail Gorbachev, whose reforms dwarfed anything Andropov ever did.) The villains in Patriot Games are a Renegade Splinter Faction of the Provisional Wing of the IRA, which they find too moderate for their tastes. They've kept their moles within the PIRA, and they ultimately plan to assassinate its leadership and step into the power vacuum to take over the organization. However, they're all killed or captured by the heroes before they can get to that point. The Cardinal of the Kremlin revolves around an attempt to stop a coup in the Soviet Union, this time against Narmonov, by the KGB allied with the Communist Party hard-liners, who are angry that Narmonov has turned out to be an even bigger reformer than his predecessor. The coup fails, but it's a very close thing. Clear and Present Danger revolves around the U.S. goverment's attempt to use military force to bring down the Medellin Cartel in Colombia. Halfway through the book, the Cartel's Dragon, Felix Cortez, realizes what's going on and decides to use it to his advantage, promising to help the Americans overthrow the Cartel's leadership so that he can take over the organization himself. He ultimately fails. Averted in The Sum of All Fears. The CIA and U.S. goverment spend much of the book under the misapprehension that there's yet another coup in the works against Narmonov, this time by the military and KGB. It turns out to be disinformation, spread by a CIA asset in the Soviet government who was trying to mislead them for his own reasons, but nearly leads to World War III when the U.S. goverment mistakes a nuclear explosion in Denver (actually a terrorist attack) for an act of aggression by a new Soviet government. Narmonov finds it almost impossible to calm down the situation, because the Americans are convinced it's not actually him but his hard-line successors on the other end of the Red Line. The end of The Bear and the Dragon. China's disastrous invasion of Siberia has already caused a lot of public unrest, but when it's revealed that it nearly degenerated into a nuclear war with the United States, the unrest turns into a riot, with student protesters storming the Politburo. Fang Gan, a moderate Politburo member, seizes the opportunity to essentially crown himself the new leader of China and orders the arrest of the previous leadership.

When the heroes make the mistake of trying to flee, everyone turns against them, allowing Jewelius to exile them and proclaim himself "Holy King Jewelius I". The 11th chapter reveals that he originally intended to overthrow the princesses by convincing Chrysalis to commit her invasion and helping her infiltrate Canterlot, but after he met Twilight and witnessed the canon Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure, he altered his plans and betrayed Chrysalis, effectively turning the failed invasion into a successful coup.

It's a bloodless coup, since Cage doesn't actually want to hurt his dad, and the official line for the public is that Dante simply retired and Cage inherited his position. Clarke doesn't make herself Chancellor or take any official title for herself, but she does eventually declare herself to be Camp Jaha's real leader, using her influence over the Grounder army to make the camp's official leader accede to her commands.

Then he finalizes it by allowing Rhaella to kill Aerys in his sleep. Another one ends the war. After Rhaegar's death in battle, his wife Laela takes over his court in their son Aegon's name and tries to fight on. In response, Rhaella and her own loyalists seize control of the Red Keep and imprison or kill all of Rhaegar's remaining followers, handing the capital over to Daeron.

The rest of the plot has the heroes trying to protect the last legitimate heir as they prepare for the counterattack. The Galaxy Angel II trilogy has a coup in the first and second games, both times perpetrated against planet Seldar in the NEUE universe. In Zettai Ryouiki no Tobira, Forte Stollen leads a coup allegedly because the NEUE universe is taking too long to integrate the Lost Technology into their culture, but later is revealed to have been blackmailed by the real villains who are holding Milfeulle and the Seldar royal family hostage to force her to comply. In Mugen Kairou no Kagi, the Three Marquis of the Arms Alliance take over planet Seldar and threaten to bombard it in order to force the Luxiole and the Rune Angel Wing to fight them.

U.S. officials come to the conclusion that the Soviet Union has had a coup and Khrushchev's administration has been replaced with a far more militant government. They eventually figure out that there wasn't one — Khrushchev is just trying to appease the warmongers and General Rippers in his own government. Also invoked as to why, following President Kennedy's huge verbal spat with Generals Powell and LeMay over DEFCON status, the administration can't just fire them as Bobby suggests — it risks looking like there had been an attempted coup (it's not made clear who would be couping whom, but it would look really bad either way) and in any case would seriously weaken the US's bargaining position by making its military strength look compromised.

At one point, despite knowing better, Papillon gets involved in a coup attempt to oust Betancourt and restore Medina Angarita to power. At first, he doesn't realize who he's involved with, believing he's doing some underworld machine shop work, until he discovers that he's helping manufacture bombs for the coup. Eventually his desire to finance his revenge gets him directly involved in a disastrously bad attack on the palace and he's lucky to escape without being arrested. He hides out doing construction work until the heat from his failed plot disappears as the police uncover a new plot to thwart.

The war is supposed to culminate in the Chinese Politburo being wiped out (ostensibly in a British cruise missile strike), enabling Carver's Chinese partner, General Chang, to take over the government and negotiate a cease fire (and then granting Carver exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next hundred years). Die Another Day portrays a North Korean government divided between moderates like General Moon and hard-liners like his son and several other generals. Towards the end of the movie, the hard-liners stage a coup, take over the government, and attempt to invade and conquer South Korea. (Borders on Artistic License â€“ Politics, as North Korea is one of the most personalistic regimes in the world: it would be very difficult for factions as distinct and powerful as these to develop given how tightly the ruler — Kim Jong Il at the time of the movie, and Kim Jong Un today — controls politics.) Quantum of Solace revolves around a plot by the renegade General Medrano to overthrow the elected government of Bolivia, with assistance from the CIA and the shadowy organization Quantum. It's stated that this isn't the first time Quantum has done this, with their representative taking credit for the (real life) overthrow of President Aristide of Haiti in similar circumstances. It isn't the first time for Medrano either, as allusions are made to his having participated in the violent overthrow of the junta Camille's father was a part of.

Captain John Geary is a legendary hero of The Alliance who spent the last 100 years as a Human Popsicle after his You Shall Not Pass! moment at the onset of the Forever War. He is forced by fate to take command of a fleet trapped behind enemy lines. Some time later, his genius tactics (actually, fairly standard for his time but completely forgotten by this point) result in the fleet getting close to returning to Alliance space, while dealing heavy damage to the enemy. Many ship commanders begin to hope that the legendary "Black Jack" Geary will pull a Caesar and take power from the incompetent and corrupt Alliance politicians. Geary, for his part, is vehemently opposed to the idea but is afraid that his "followers" may attempt to pull off a coup in his name no matter what he says. He manages to defuse the situation by convincing them that this would only play into the hands of the "corrupt politicians" who would have a freer reign under a dictatorship than a democratic government (Geary points out that he would still need them to help run things, as he doesn't have any political or governing skills). Many politicians are likewise afraid that Geary will attempt to seize power and try to get rid of him without causing a public outcry.

Main character Kimihito is forced to work off a debt owed to a corporation by aiding them on this farm of only monster ladies filled with minotaurs, fauns, and satyrs. Originally not all the ladies were active participants in the work and maintenance of the facility. One of his many jobs includes attaching the women's breasts up to milk-pumping machines. One of minotaurs he knew from a previous arc is also present and asks him to milk her by hand, as his touch is far nicer and pleasurable than the cold machine. This starts making every woman present interested in his touch and technique, the Satyrs most of all. In order to allow him more time to milk them, the fauns start working on cleaning the communal house and making food while the minotaurs work a bit harder on the field. On the eve of what is supposed to be his final night at the farm, he is grabbed by a horde of minotaurs and fauns who are under the effects of the full moon and expressing their desires to have him stay. It is then he is saved by the satyrs. Due to their natural horniness, they are not affected by the full moon. The satyrs reveal they had been studying his techniques for milking breasts and can replicate them on the other women. Their skills are so good, it allows Kimihito to be set free and the satyrs now run the place because of their new skills in milking. The satyrs enjoy their new place on the ladder because they are still being paid, don't have to work like they did before, and they love touching other women's breasts.

Even with those numbers they would have lost if not for the "Black Hero": the seventh prince of the Empire, Lux, who singlehandedly defeated the Empire's army of 1,200 Drag-Rides. In the end the coup was successful but Count Atismata and his youngest daughter died, leaving his relative Raffi to become the Queen of the New Kingdom and his elder daughter Lizsharte, who was captured by the Empire early in the coup, to become the Princess. Further complicating things, the coup was actually a plan arranged between Lux and his older half-brother Fugil, First Prince of the Empire. Lux wanted to bring a peaceful end to the Empire, but Fugil betrayed him by murdering the entire Imperial Court and the Empire's Drag-Knights whom Lux had defeated without killing. Centuries ago, the Arcadia Empire itself was formed after a coup against the tyrannical Holy Arcadia Empire, and they also had Fugil's help in doing so. Unfortunately, they were on their way to becoming just as corrupt as their predecessors, leading to the above-mentioned coup.

The Coup / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: In "Jolinar's Memories" and "The Devil You Know", Sokar is overthrown by his First Prime, Nao'nak (actually Apophis in disguise). In "The Other Guys", Her'ak overthrows Khonsu after finding out that he's actually a Tok'ra and declares himself in charge until Anubis returns. In "Birthright", Neith attempts to overthrow Ishta, believing that she has been compromised by her feelings for Teal'c. It ends badly for her. In "Icon", Soren's forces take advantage of the unrest that follows SG-1's arrival on the planet to seize control from the Rand government. Averted in "Full Alert". The American and Russian leaders each suspect the other of having been overthrown and replaced by a Goa'uld infiltrator. It's not true (though some of their senior government officials have indeed been taken over): the Goa'uld are just trying to play them off against each other in the hopes of driving them into a nuclear war with each other, effectively destroying the Earth in the process. A borderline example appears in "Reckoning, Part 1/Part 2". Ba'al, now The Dragon to Anubis, deliberately stalls the forces Anubis sent to confront the Earth, Tok'ra, and Free Jaffa forces while helping those forces to find and program the Dakara superweapon that can kill Anubis, leaving him in full control of his former master's forces. (Also a case of Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal and Evil Versus Oblivion, since Anubis is planning to exterminate all life in the galaxy — Ba'al and all of his other servants included — to repopulate it to his specifications.)

Then she has Mei and Ty Lee purposely reveal that they're Fire Nation to manipulate Long Feng into a temporary alliance. Once Kuei is overthrown, Azula promptly ends her alliance with Long Feng, having also achieved her secondary objective: to take control of the Dai Li.

The Coup / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The three-parter that opens season two (consisting of "The Homecoming", "The Circle" and "The Siege") concerns an attempt by a Bajoran extremist group called the Alliance for Global Unity, informally "the Circle", to overthrow the Bajoran Provisional Government and kick out the Federation. The team discovers that the Cardassians are covertly supplying the Circle, and publicly discredits the entire movement. In "The Way of the Warrior", a Cardassian dissident movement executes a coup against the longtime military dictatorship, restoring the Cardassian civilian government to its full authority. This was only possible because of the Obsidian Order's destruction by the Dominion in "The Die Is Cast". Unfortunately, the Klingons don't believe this was possible at all (they think the Dominion's changeling leaders suborned the entire Cardassian government), so they invade the Cardassian Union and eventually drive them right into the arms of the Dominion. "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" feature a coup attempt by senior leaders of Starfleet, who believe that only a military dictatorship can keep the Federation safe through the impending threat with the Dominion. The heroes are initially drawn into this coup when the plotters claim to need their help fighting Dominion shapeshifters on Earth, only to eventually realize what's really going on.

The Coup / int_9b44108b	comment	The New Deal Coalition Retained timeline has a few examples: The more successful counterrevolutionary invasion of Cuba carried out by Nixon causes Fidel Castro to have a nervous breakdown, so Che Guvera kills him and seizes power. After Khrushchev fails to counter the Prague Spring, KGB chief Vladimir Semichastny ousts him from power and takes over. After Mao's death, his widow Jiang Qing allies with his former rivals to eliminate the Gang of Four and take power for herself. In response to East Germany's increasing liberalization in the late 80s, Markus Wolf uses his personal stash of blackmail to gain the support of the military and the Stasi in quickly seizing control of the country. Because of his attempts at reforming the USSR, Alexander Yakovlev is forcibly removed as General-Secretary by KGB director Vladimir Kryuchkov, who proceeds to take over, backed by several other hardline Stalinists in key military and government positions. This is known as the December Coup or Christmas Putsch, and also happens to be timed to coincide with several others throughout the Warsaw Pact designed to eliminate all the reformers. Pakistan has a bloodless one in 1986. With more and more of the country rising up in protest against Aslam Beg's authoritarian rule, and fearing it leading to an open rebellion, a group of army officers backed by the Muslim League confront Beg and demand he resign. Seeing the writing on the wall, Beg steps down, allowing Army Chief of Staff Tikka Khan to assume the Presidency and negotiate a peaceful conclusion to things with the opposition. When Colombian and American forces overwhelm Ecuador during World War III, the ruling Communist government makes plans to retreat to the jungles to wage guerrilla warfare. But seeing the folly of this, Interior Minister Rodrigo Borja Cevallos works with the military to seize power, arresting all Communist Party officials, declaring himself interim President and promptly surrendering the country. When the war in South America continues to go bad for the Communist members, a group of Brazilian military officers tries to take over. They fail, and become the first victims of the subsequent retaliatory purge. Fear of encroaching Soviet power in Europe causes a military junta to overthrow Turkey's left-leaning government, abandon neutrality, and join the war on the Allied side. When Syria is overwhelmed by Allied forces and Hafez Assad decides to fight to the last man, Mustafa Tlass and a group of officers loyal to him respond by marching into Assad's bunker and executing him. Tlass then takes over and promptly surrenders. For fear that she'll break India's neutrality and drag them into the war, Sanjay Gandhi kills his mother, before he and his followers begin working to seize total power. Two of these happen close together to wrap up the Central African War/African front of WWIII. First, when Sudan is overrun by the Allies and the government is about to go for a Last Stand, Omar al-Bashir executes all his leaders in order to take power and sign an unconditional surrender. Shortly after, the increasingly harsh measures that Ethiopia's government is undertaking to maintain control in light of Allied advances lead to a group of military officers seizing power in order to surrender. While much detail isn't given, it's mentioned that the collapse of Communist lines in South America leads to coups in Bolivia and Uruguay, allowing new governments to seize power and surrender to the Allies. With Iran being overrun by Allied forces, a cadre of intelligence and military officers march into a meeting of the parliament and seize power. Interestingly, given that the General-Secretary of the time was being blamed for Iran's failings, this is welcomed by many in the government. With the Balkans falling totally to the Allies and Romania next on the chopping block, General Vasile Milea ignores orders to prepare futile defensive measures and instead overruns the capital, arresting all the key government officials and taking over so that he can then sue for peace. With Moscow itself overrun and Kryuchkov and his hardliner allies planning to invoke the Nuclear Option out of desperation, the few reformers allowed to stay in positions of authority following the December Coup (primarily Semichastny and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn) finally launch their own counter-coup, arresting Kryuchkov's group and taking back power. Due to Li Peng's failures as Premier of China, the PLA — led by Marshal Chi Haotian — rebels against and topples the Communist Party. During the 1990s, the CIA backs coups in Colombia and Ecuador to remove narco-friendly governments that had been fueling the drug crisis in America. With Nigeria clearly starting to lose the Great Southern War, several military commanders take advantage of President Shonekan being at a summit out of the country to seize power and sue for peace.

To this end, many of them end up taking control of various locations to attempt preventions of the power struggles which weakened Westeros beforehand: Sam takes control of Horn Hill from his father, backed by those soldiers who fought the Others with him, and the rest of his family when they realize how cruelly Randyll treated Sam. Yara overthrows Balon as ruler of the Iron Islands, backed by all the major captains who remember how moronic his ambitions turned out to be. Tyrion removes Tywin as ruler of Casterly Rock, backed by his family members who remember how Tywin's ruthlessness enabled Cersei's rise to power (which in turn ruined their House). Daenerys seizes control of Pentos, backed by the rebelling slaves and Dothraki who remember her as the Breaker of Chains and Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea. The overall goal of the first part of the fic is to depose Robert and have Jon take his rightful place on the throne so Westeros can properly prepare for the Others' return. In fact, an argument can be made that it's already happened: as of this writing, the North, the Riverlands, the Vale, and the Westerlands have all pledged themselves to House Targaryen, with the Reach and the Iron Islands soon to follow. With Dorne torn apart by their own Civil War and not inclined to side with either side due to Elia Martell, and the Crownlands divided, only the Stormlands actually follow Robert. At this point, Jon is not just the rightful king, but also the actual king in all but name.

The Coup / int_a04b0ca3	comment	Tintin is fond of this: Coups are basically the totality of the political process in the Republic of San Theodoros: two factions, led by General Alcazar and General Tapioca, are at each other's throats for the entire length of the series, with one faction seizing power and the other going into opposition, until such time as it can take back power and drive its rival into opposition, and so forth. The story is generally told from Alcazar's point of view, but only because Tintin is a friend of his and can therefore exert some appeal on his better angels: otherwise, it's made pretty clear that there's no real difference between his government and Tapioca's. A similar though not quite as unstable situation exists in the Kingdom of Khemedi Arabia, between the ruling Emir Mohammed bin Kalish Ezab, and his enemy Sheikh Bab El Ehr. Once again, Tintin has personal ties to one of the two, but the story makes it clear that both of them are cruel, capricious, and generally tyrannical rulers.

Their plan is to overthrow the elected British government, take it over themselves, and install Mountbatten as a figurehead ruler. Despite lecturing them on exactly why such a coup would be impossible in a long-established First World democracy like Britain, he takes the idea seriously enough to approach the Queen for her blessing and is only dissuaded when Elizabeth tells him in no uncertain terms to knock it off.

The Coup / int_b0282745	comment	Happens a few times in Buck Danny: The "oil gangsters" plot line revolves around an attempt by an unscrupulous oil company to overthrow the Sheikh of the Oulai in order to exploit the oil resources on his territory. The heroes, recently demobilized after World War II, start out as pilots for the oil company, but quickly switch sides to warn the Sheikh and ultimately prevent the coup when they realize what their employers are planning. The Vien Tan story arc straddles the line between this and a revolution. It's loosely based on The Vietnam War, but instead of a communist revolution, the power struggle is between an American-friendly king and his rebellious nephew, who's being bought off by a Nebulous Evil Organisation and their Hired Guns to seize power and grant them the rights to the minerals in his country's soil. The fictional country of Managua is especially prone to this. During the "nuclear alert" story arc set in The '80s, it's portrayed as a fragile democracy, whose chief of staff, General Sanchez, is plotting to seize power and install a dictatorship (unwittingly allying himself with the story's main villains, who pretend to be supporters of his new government). When we return to it in The '90s, Sanchez has succeeded in taking power: however, The Cartel he's in league with is now plotting a coup of its own to replace him with a more pliable partner. In order to prevent this, the heroes ally with yet another officer, General Ortega, to launch his own coup first, overthrowing Sanchez and then rallying the military to stop the Cartel's takeover.

They attacked the Enterprise crewmembers who were enjoying shore leave on Rigel VII, resulting in three of them being killed (including Yeoman Dermot Cusack) and seven being injured (including Nano and Sita Mohindas). As a result, Rigel VII's admission was denied. However, in "Nor Iron Bars a Cage", Yeoman Colt mentions that the sacrifice of the Enterprise crewmembers inspired many Rigellians to expunge the barbaric elements of their society and that it was possible that Rigel VII could still join the Federation one day.

This results in RuGaard being exiled, and the twins being set up as puppet rulers for NiVom. A few years in-verse and another book later, he has SiHazathant killed in a False Flag Operation, so that he can quietly remove Regalia from power and seize the throne himself (only to then in turn be assassinated by his own mate).

It turns out to be disinformation, spread by a CIA asset in the Soviet government who was trying to mislead them for his own reasons, but nearly leads to World War III when the U.S. goverment mistakes a nuclear explosion in Denver (actually a terrorist attack) for an act of aggression by a new Soviet government. Narmonov finds it almost impossible to calm down the situation, because the Americans are convinced it's not actually him but his hard-line successors on the other end of the Red Line.

With the officers now in charge of the military unwilling to follow Rochav's orders to brutally suppress the revolting population, Murat is easily able to convince them to put him in charge.

The Coup / int_bfd7c6e0	comment	Drowtales: Sil'lice supposedly attempted this against her mother, Diva'ratrika, but failed. In actuality, Sil'lice was the victim of a Frameup, and the Sharen clan coup was a complete success. Three of the Sharen sisters, Snadhya'rune, Sarv'swati, and Zala'ess were tired of Diva'ratrika's total control over their lives and wanted to seize power for themselves. Since their other two sisters, Sil'lice and Nishi'kanta, had a strong sense of honor and loyalty, the trio had to get rid of them. Nishi'kanta surrendered and toed the party line, while Sil'lice was forced to run. The traitors proceeded to pretend Diva'ratrika was still alive, but didn't want to be seen by anyone, so that they could use her image as a figurehead. It has long been foreshadowed that there are elements within the Sarghress clan, such as Suu'be, who plan to usurp the clan when Quain'tana inevitably dies. When Quain'tana is poisoned and left with only days to live, her loyalists attempt to secure her bloodline while traitors launch The Purge against it. In the end, Suu'be and Quain'tana score a Mutual Kill, resulting in Ariel becoming the new leader of the clan. But even that doesn't stick, and it doesn't take long until another coup sides a majority of the Sarghress clan against Ariel.

The Coup / int_db30cf92	comment	Happens a couple times in the Warrior Cats series: In the first series, Tigerclaw, the second-in-command of ThunderClan, plots to kill his Clan leader (as Clan law states that deputy succeeds leader) by inviting some rogues to attack the camp and passing off her death as part of the battle. Fireheart jumps in and rescues her during the attempt. In the second series, the WindClan leader Tallstar, in his dying breaths, names Onewhisker as his successor instead of Mudclaw. As the only cats who witnessed this are Onewhisker himself and two of his friends, Mudclaw doesn't believe Onewhisker should be leader, and leads a rebellion against him before the younger cat can receive his nine leader's lives. ThunderClan helps out Onewhisker and he wins. Also in the second series, Tigerstar and Hawkfrost set up a plan for Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost to kill the other leaders at a Gathering and forcibly take control of all the Clans. Brambleclaw disagrees with it, and it is never attempted.

In response, KKK leader William Joseph Simmons overthrows Marshall's administration, declaring himself acting chief executive. This destroys what legitimacy the White government still had, leading to Texas and the Pacific Fleet surrendering, while also subjecting Virginia, Maryland, and DC itself to a brutal military campaign. In 1921, Haitian officer Jean-Baptiste ConzÃ© launches a coup against the pro-ASU PÃ©ralte government, backed by a force of American and Mexican Former Regime Personnel. The coup ultimately fails, with the Haitian military backing PÃ©ralte, while some of the Mexican mercenaries betray ConzÃ© and hand him over in exchange for their own freedom.

The Coup / int_df244197	comment	The AlternateHistory.com timeline Washington Burns sees Britain suffer from one of these at the turn of the 20th century. When Queen Victoria is killed by an Irish assassin, the changes she made to the laws of inheritance mean that the throne should pass to her daughter, Princess Victoria. But at the time, Victoria II is in Scotland recovering from a severe case of flu, so it's decided that her son Prince Victor should act as regent until she recovers. The only problem is that Victor quickly becomes a puppet of his uncle Prince Edward (who had long been envious of his sister "stealing" his role as heir) and Prime Minister Jonathan Bradley (who, like many Conservatives, hated the progressive reforms both Victorias were making). The pair surround Victoria with loyal guards to keep her under house arrest and doctors paid to keep her sedated even when she's recovered from her illness, while feeding Victor and the country propaganda. Eventually, Victoria's husband Prince William breaks her out and they rally loyalists, triggering a brief civil war that ends with Bradley and other conspirators arrested, and Edward killing Victor and himself. On top of all that, it's revealed after all this is over that the Irish assassin who killed Victoria I really worked for the conspiracy.

While the coup fails with Allora's death, the misinformation campaign is more successful, triggering a Civil War which leads to the canonical Rebellion.

As a result, Phineas Narby, already a senior scientist-priest and the leader of the ideological bloc containing most of the young, ambitious members of his caste, calls for a meeting of the senior officers, then invites in his new mutant allies, assassinates the Captain, has his men install him as a replacement, and then has the few remaining recalcitrants massacred. A similar process happens on the upper decks, as Joe-Jim's gang, already the largest among the Muties, uses the newfound support to take over or wipe out its rivals.

The incident is known in history books as the Insurrection of the Seven, but only six nobles were directly involved, with the seventh being the catalyst for the coup after having his house destroyed in a failed attempt to secede from the Empire to the Leicester Alliance.

The Coup / int_e82cad	comment	The Footprint of Mussolini: Unlike in our timeline, Hitler is successfully killed in Operation Valkyrie. Though circumstances keep the coup plotters from seizing control of the Reich government before Himmler can, they're able to set up a provisional rival government in Hamburg, which gets backing from the Allies by means of supporting a defecting Rommel's "Free German Army" against the SS and the factions of the Wehrmacht staying loyal to Himmler. After PaveliÄ‡ leads Croatia into a war of extermination against Serbia over protests from the rest of the Roman Alliance (threatening to split the power bloc and/or start World War III by pissing off the Soviets), the other Fascist powers enable King Timoslav and the exiled Dido Kvaternik to overthrow PaveliÄ‡, purging him and his loyalists in order to install a government that will tow the Alliance's company line. As in real life, Bey Muhammad VIII al-Amin of Tunisia is overthrown. In this timeline, however, it's assassination at the hands of his own bodyguards, for the purpose of swearing allegiance to the UAR at the start of the Second Arabian War. In an act of desperation at the end of the Second Arabian War, Sadat poisons the completely delusional Nasser so that he can take over leadership of what's left of Egypt and surrender to Israel and the Roman Alliance while there's still a chance. Due to the perception of having bungled his duties as leader, especially after the Second Arabian War, Suslov is able to convince Molotov and Malenkov to turn on Khrushchev, executing him and arresting his loyalists, allowing Suslov to take his place. With the Soviet populace hitting their breaking point with the government after learning about Suslov's Moon-Landing Hoax and Yuri Gagaran's defection to the West as a result, Malenkov uses the public outcry to oust Suslov from power and take over as premier. And when he enacts liberalizing reforms, Communist hardliners headed by Molotov and Andropov place him under house arrest to take power for themselves and undo his work. This results in a general uprising, aided by the army against the KGB, which forces the hardliners to stand down and restore Malenkov to power.

The Coup / int_f15f622e	comment	Several attempted coups appear in MacGyver (1985), usually headed off by the hero: "The Gauntlet" has the head of the secret police in a Central American regime plotting a coup against his government, with the help of brand new weapons supplied to his loyalists by the American mob. Mac and the reporter he's been sent to rescue manage to expose him before he has a chance. "Blind Faith" is an inversion: the villains (a Central American death squad and rogue elements of U.S. intelligence) already control their home nation, and are trying to kill a popular candidate before she has a chance to win the upcoming elections they've been pressured to agree to. "Obsessed" features, yet again, a coup in a fictional Central American nation. This time it's a deposed dictator who wants to return to power, again with the help of rogue U.S. intelligence elements (and Mac's longtime nemesis Murdoc). The TV movie "Train to Doomsday" involves rogue former KGB members trying to overthrow The New Russia and restore the Soviet Union.
