1960s coup

The 1960s coup refers to a political event where the government was forcibly overthrown by military or revolutionary forces. During this decade, several countries experienced these sudden takeovers often driven by political instability, dissatisfaction with leadership, or ideological conflicts. Such coups typically involve the suspension of normal government functions, sometimes leading to transitional governments or authoritarian regimes. In many cases, they reflect broader struggles over power, control, and direction of a nation’s future, with long-lasting impacts on political stability and development.
