On the morning of 8 September 2009, Algosh garrisons throughout the Confederation seized control of government buildings, key infrastructure, media offices, and other strategic positions. The seizures occurred on the direct orders of Pa-Akanti, who issued a proclamation on all radio stations and the few domestic television stations of the Confederation, announcing the establishment of an ethnic Algosh state and the "reorganization" of the outlying portions of the Confederation under Algosh protection. Most of the Confederation's remaining members were caught off-guard and had no opportunity to resist, such as [[Pachaug]], and in most places the transition of power occurred smoothly, with limited civilian violence. Efforts to resist the coup occurred elsewhere with limited success, and the Algosh consolidated territory into chiefdoms and reformed their government by early November. As the military seizures occurred, the [[Algoquona#Government|Algosh Hierarchs]] proclaimed a new Hierarchy of [[Algoquona]], a state controlled by the Algosh people with other peoples and polities serving a subservient, dominated role relative to the Algosh. The new state claimed to be the legal successor of the Northern Confederation, and carried on the war against [[Urcea]]. | On the morning of 8 September 2009, Algosh garrisons throughout the Confederation seized control of government buildings, key infrastructure, media offices, and other strategic positions.

Several members of the Northern Confederation, such as the [[Nysdra Provisional Republic|Honeoye, the Gowandis, the Canandaigua, and the Saranac]] peoples and the city of [[Housatonic]], resisted the coup for a time. Resistance was strongest along the [[Nysdra Sea|Nysdra]] seaboard, with the four peoples in the southern end of the seaboard and Housatonic in the north and several non-compliant entites in between. With respect to the so-called "four neighbors", their resistance to the Algosh was a major strategic concern given their proximity to [[New Harren]] and occupied Urcean territories. Accordingly, the bulk of Algosh response forces were sent to respond, and although the four peoples were not subjugated until 14 October, the military frontier with Urcea was reestablished by 10 September. During this period, the four neighbors collectively decided not to invite the intervention of the Urcean [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] which they had been previously fighting; this decision would prove controversial among the four neighbors by the end of the 2010s, following years of Algosh occupation. [[Housatonic]] in the north had managed to resist its garrison and eject it from the city, but the garrison regrouped and besieged the city the day after the coup. The city resisted for 20 days and fell on 29 September. In Housatonic and across the newly occupied territories, sacks were common as were reprisals. Major portions of Housatonic in particular were burnt to the ground.

Major portions of Housatonic in particular were burnt to the ground. The harsh treatment of Housatonic had the effect of leading other resisting areas, especially those in modern [[Caracua]], to offer terms of truce and submission to the Algosh, which were accepted without bloodshed. The peoples of the [[Chenango Confederacy|Chenango peninsula]] also resisted, including a minor uprising in [[2013]] after the conclusion of the war. | ||
Many of the areas which put up the fiercest resistance to the Algosh occupation would go on to cause significant internal division within Algoquona and would successfully invite [[Occidental]] interventions in their favor. | Many of the areas which put up the fiercest resistance to the Algosh occupation would go on to cause significant internal division within Algoquona and would successfully invite [[Occidental]] interventions in their favor. | ||

The coup would be the defining event in [[Cusinaut]] for the first three decades of the 21st century. The establishment of Algosh dominion was never accepted by most of the newly subordinate peoples; Algoquona would be rife with civil discord for the remainder of its almost decade and a half-long existence, although only one major armed uprising occurred during the early 2010s, in modern [[ | The coup would be the defining event in [[Cusinaut]] for the first three decades of the 21st century. The establishment of Algosh dominion was never accepted by most of the newly subordinate peoples; Algoquona would be rife with civil discord for the remainder of its almost decade and a half-long existence, although only one major armed uprising occurred during the early 2010s, in modern [[Caracua]], that was easily crushed. For a time, the new state and its conquests were temporarily recognized by [[Urcea]] in the [[Treaty of Narasseta]], which ended the War of the Northern Confederation and reestablished peace in [[Cusinaut]]. The ongoing resistance posed by the locals, especially concern over the state of the [[Unnuaq Mission State|Unnuaq Catholic mission area]], would invite further Urceo-Occidental intervention and lead to a series of military interventions against Algoquona, beginning with [[Operation Mission Shield]] in the mid-2010s and culminating with the [[Final War of the Deluge]] in the early-2020s. The establishment of the Algosh state in place of the Northern Confederation also lead to the establishment of novel confederations following Algoquona's collapse, most notably the [[Chenango Confederacy]] and [[Caracua]]. Following the Final War of the Deluge, the Algosh would remain a sovereign people with their own state - the [[Algosh Republic]] - constrained only to areas where they made up an ethnic majority. | ||
The coup had a major role in exacerbating [[The Deluge]], not only due to the links established between Occidental powers and the groups dominated by the Algosh, but also because the establishment of Algoquona in the place of the Northern Confederation fundamentally destabilized [[Cusinaut]] in the view of the Occidental powers. Urcean attempts at engagement with the Algosh through the [[Treaty of Narasseta]] and then the subsequent military acts which led to the [[Cronan Emergency Resolution]] rapidly escalated the number of Occidental interventions in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region. Many critics of Occidental involvement in Crona, especially the government of [[Ardmore]] have dismissed the role of the coup, citing it as "pretext" for "long held imperial ambitions". Some analysts, meanwhile, have suggested that the coup inaugurated a historically unprecedented era of domination in [[Cusinaut]] that was more or less only disrupted by Occidental involvement. | The coup had a major role in exacerbating [[The Deluge]], not only due to the links established between Occidental powers and the groups dominated by the Algosh, but also because the establishment of Algoquona in the place of the Northern Confederation fundamentally destabilized [[Cusinaut]] in the view of the Occidental powers.
