Scenarios about 'coup d'état'
A coup d'état is the sudden, often violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group, typically involving military forces or political factions. Throughout history, coups have dramatically altered political landscapes across continents, installing new regimes, changing ideological directions, and often serving as turning points in national histories. In alternate history scenarios, coups represent critical junctures where timelines might diverge, as different coup outcomes can fundamentally reshape geopolitical realities and subsequent historical developments.
