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. The harsh treatment of Housatonic had the effect of leading other resisting areas, especially those in modern [[Ashkenang]], to offer terms of truce and submission to the Algosh, which were accepted without bloodshed. | 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.

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. | ||
