History

Coup of 1990

By 1986 the Venerian Spring was in full swing, with the Zapoten Democracy League leading the protests inside Zapote. Although the protests were considerably less frequent and massive as those in other Socialist countries, the inability and the apparent split inside the Zapoten Socialist Party over how best to deal with the situation resulted in tensions inside the party. Bin Tan which had remained adamant on supporting Socialist governments worldwide was shocked when popular protests in Medan resulted in a bloodbath as government and protesters fought in the streets of the capital, Bin Tan unwilling to allow the Medan government to fall deployed the ZPA to invade Medan in December 1989 after the Medan Secretary Julius Souček announced free elections the following year. Members of the Venerian Treaty refused to aid in the invasion of Medan when they suffered from similar problems, Bin Tan instructed Zapoten forces to intervene wherever necessary to prevent the collapse of the Socialist governments.

Growing tension inside the Socialist party resulted in the calling of special elections for the Secretary of the Party, as a faction mainly lead by Vice-Secretary Guan Jin sought to unseat Bin Tan as they feared his continued rhetoric could result in a popular uprising or the collapse of the Venerian Treaty itself as dissent among its members increased. On the morning of the 15th of January 1990 Zapoten forces in Stenia engaged protesters and Stenian armed forces, as the Stenian government expulsed the Zapoten army of its borders and opted to leave the Venerian Treaty, triggering a domino effect within the members of the treaty, as Zapoten forces engaged national armed forces in 4 other countries. Fearing an immediate collapse of the Treaty and with news of army units deserting their posts and joining the protesters in numerous cities in the country resulted in Guan Ji and his supporters launching a coup against Bin Tan and his supporters. Although Guan Ji was able to overthrow the government and arrest Bin Tan as he entered the Party headquarters, the news of the successful coup resulted in 15 out of the 18 members of the Venerian Treaty opting to leave the alliance. Protests in Zapote escalated, and fearing a popular uprising Guan agreed to enact reforms on the country, while maintaining the party.
