The '''Algosh coup''' refers to an event that took place on 8 September 2009 during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], when military forces loyal to the Algosh people seized control of or otherwise laid claim to the remaining portions of the [[Northern Confederation]], destroying that institution and bringing many of its periphery members under Algosh control. The coup was the primary event in the formation of [[Algoquona]] as an independent state. In most sectors of the Confederation, the coup was bloodless, but areas and peoples who resisted the initial coup were brutally repressed in September and October of 2009, leading to more than 20,000 civilian casualties. | The '''Algosh coup''' refers to an event that took place on 8 September 2009 during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], when military forces loyal to the Algosh people seized control of or otherwise laid claim to the remaining portions of the [[Northern Confederation]], destroying that institution and bringing many of its periphery members under Algosh control.

The coup had a profound impact on the future of [[Cusinaut]]. The end of the Northern Confederation and dominance by the Algosh over the other ethnicities led to significant political instability among the peoples of Cusinaut and a lack of governing legitimacy in Algoquona. The ensuing instability and struggles for political autonomy invited further [[Occidental]] intervention in the reason and precipitated the main parts of [[The Deluge|the Deluge]]. By the time Algoquona was dissolved, the entire political system of Cusinaut had been completely reorganized and [[Kiravia|Kiro]]-[[Levantia|Levantine]] influence entrenched throughout both Cusinaut and the entire [[Nysdra Sea]] region. | |||

The [[Northern Confederation]] had been established in the 17th century to, in part, resist [[Occidental]] incursions within [[Cusinaut]]. The Confederation had been largely successful in this effort, and by the dawn of the new millennium it still included many of its most prominent members, including the Algosh, the Honeoye, and Tepetlcali, among many others. The Algosh, who had been a member of the Confederation, made up a disproportionate share of the Confederation's military by the end of the 20th century. A people with a strong martial tradition, their influence within the Confederation's armed forces led to the Algosh [[Algoquona#Rising_influence|accruing rising influence in the Confederation]] against a backdrop of [[War_of_the_Northern_Confederation#Background|significant internal discord]] within the Confederation. The rising influence of the Algosh and Honeoye, as well as Occidental encroachment and other factors, led to a sharp decline in the cohesion of the Confederation beginning in around [[1985]]. This lack of cohesion enabled blood feuds and other domestic wars to take place between the Confederation's members, and the inability of Confederate authorities to stop the conflicts further weakened internal cohesion. By [[2008]], a renewed blood feud between the Mixcala and Tepetlcali saw [[Urcea]] intervene on behalf of the Mixcala, beginning the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] as Confederate members fought alongside the other Confederation members as well as the Urceo-Mixcalan coalition. The Urcean [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] had overrun several of the Confederation's southernmost members by the summer of 2009, including Tepetlcali. The fall of the other rotating capital of the Confederation enabled the Algosh to assume a leading role in the remnant of the Confederation. | The [[Northern Confederation]] had been established in the 17th century to, in part, resist [[Occidental]] incursions within [[Cusinaut]].
