The 2003 Creeperian Coup D'état was a civil military operation which deposed the four year-long totalitarian regime led by Emperor Alfonso VI. The coup was carried out on June 18, 2003 and was led by the future Emperor Alexander II and Creeperian Army Chief Field Marshal Augusto Cabañeras Gutiérrez.

The Creeperian Initiative supported the coup and transferred leadership to Alexander II. Alexander II remains in power to this day.

The coup maked a watershed moment in Creeperian history and began the true modernization of the nation and the growth of its economy.

Background

On October 16, 1999, Emperor Romero III died without an heir. This left his younger brother, Alfonso VI, to become Emperor. Alfonso VI took the absolute nature of the monarchy to an extreme and ushered in an era known in Creeperian history as the October 16 Regime. The regime was known for its totalitarian nature. Alfonso VI cut funding and numbers to the National Intelligence Directorate (abbreviated DINA, the Creeperian secret police) and also reduced funding to the three major brances of the Creeperian Armed Forces: the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The cut funding went to his own private spending and to the Creeperian Imperial Guard as a way to assure himself a long, comfortable, and luxurious reign with no fear of being toppled or assassinated.

The massive cut in funding angered all three major branches of the Creeperian Amred Forces. Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla, the Chief Field Marshal of the Army and the Chief of the DINA (both since 1976), was the most enraged of the three commanders, the others being Chief Admiral José Guerrero López of the Navy and Chief General Felipe Cambeiro Cavallería of the Air Force.
