[edit] Which coup attempts?
On the map, Hungary and Romania are painted light green, but they are not listed in the list of coups. Why are they marked on the map? For which coup attempts? The rise on power of the Arrow Cross in Hungary? Or its cause, the unsuccessful attempt of Horthy to withdraw from the war? Or something related to the revolution of 1956? What about Romania? Something about the 1989 revolution, considered by some to be a conspiracy of the inner circle of Ceausescu's securitate to overthrow him and remain in power? Or something earlyer, in the World War? The abdication of Michael I of Romania? Could somebody clarify it? --V. Szabolcs 20:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Correct plural
Sorry, but it's "coups d'état". Using "coup d'états" as the plural is tantamount to saying "states coup" instead of "state coups" in English. Check m-w.com as a reference, for instance. I've reverted the move. —Nightstallion (?) 19:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Czechoslovak Coup
The Communists had control of the cabinet and legislature in 1948. They then merged with other political parties to form a unity front. This is not a coup.
[edit] Why was this redirected?
Uh, why this page deleted and moved to a much less complete page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cm205 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Sub-Headings
I added several sub headings, mostly one for every decade, I did this because the list as I found it was very hard to navigate. I was looking for a single coup and it was quite difficult. Naufana : talk 06:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] JFK?
The JFK assassination is listed as a coup here. Granted, it's a legitimate theory, but that seems more like personal speculation than concrete fact. I'm removing it unless anyone can find some previously unknown concrete evidence of this coup.
