The October Coup or Bloody Tuesday as it's often called, was a coup against the Kingdom of Garindina that ended the centuries old Garindinan Monarchy. The Coup took place in the heart of Parsa on Tuesday October 17, 1933. The coup lasted four hours and forty-five minutes. The following riots after Dimtiri II's execution resulted in the deaths of many, giving the event the nickname of Bloody Tuesday.

Background

After the Constitution War, came the end of the Garindinan Empire and the rise of the Kingdom of Garindina. The Constitution War instated the 1871 Constitution of Garindina and limited the monarchies power along with establishing the Garindinan Senate. After the death of Queen Nadia IV on March 15, 1930, her son, Dimitri II rose to the throne. With poor decision making by Dimitri II and the Senate, the nation experienced rapid inflation.

King Dimitri II

Dimitri II blamed the Senate and abolished it; he then claimed all power of government. His attempts to fix the problem only worsened it and brought the Garindian economy to the brink of Economic collapse. This rose Anti-Monarchist sentiment with multiple groups challenged Dimitri II's power. With many groups even threatening Rebelion. Raids on armories and sabotage of railways became common and only increased the political turmoil.

On the 17th of October 1933, on this cold October morning, an armed group of soldiers Mutinied and stormed Dimitri II's Palace at 10:20 AM. Fed-up with his policies and the growing inflation, the people had enough. The soldiers stormed the North side of the Palace while an armed group of civilians rushed the palace and were caught in a gun fight with the Palace Guards. The soldiers quickly captured the palace and forced Dimitri to abdicate the throne. The gun fight ended when the soldiers informed the guards of Dimitri's abdication and held them at gunpoint, the gunfight left 13 dead and 7 injured. The armed group was identified as the Free Peoples of Garindina (SIG), the group was heavily anti-monarchist and pro-democracy.

News of this spread through Parsa City like wildfire, and the celebrations began. Dimitri II and his wife, Catherine Romanov, were imprisoned in a small cell in the basement of the Palace. An hour after the breach, Dimitri II and Catherine were taken outside to the palace square and publicly Executed. This infuriated Monarchist and clashes between the Monarchist and the Anti-Monarchist began to spring up across the city. The city was in a state of anarchy with police and the Army split. Former senators heard of the event and began making their way to the Senate House, they were attacked by Monarchist repeatedly. But when they arrived, they radio broadcasted the news to the whole nation and proclaimed the Federal Republic of Garindina.
