The Algosh, who had been a member of the Confederation, made up a disproportionate share of the Confederation's military. 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. As of late summer 2009, a relatively late point in the War of the Northern Confederation, the Algosh remained the only major Confederation member still fighting. Algosh society's increasing martial culture had taken on significant nationalist elements, and beginning in the early 1990s some Algosh began to agitate for an ethnic Algosh nation-state. On 30 August 2009, the Algosh hierarchs - the political and social leaders of the Algosh - agreed to seize control of the remainder of the federation.

==Overview==

Many of the parts of the Northern Confederation that had not been occupied by or aligned with [[Urcea]] had been garrisoned by or were otherwise close to the position of Algosh forces. Accordingly, 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. 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]].

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.
