The '''1997 Daekanese coup d'etat''', also known as the '''July Coup''', the '''Cadre Coup''' or the '''Restoration Revolution''', was the successful seizure of power in [[Daekan]] by the [[Restoration Committee]] and its allied forces, against Premier Kwon Jung-Hoon. The coup lasted two days with minimal fighting, which nevertheless resulted in both military and civillian casualties.
The coup was orchestrated by the Restoration Committee, a group of Party, Ministry of State Security and Daekanese People's Army officials that had been alienated by Premier Kwon's reversal of his predecessor's  (Maeng Song-Hun) ''Hyeogsin'' reforms, as well as the catastrophic fallout brought about from Kwon's aggressive foreign policy, specifically the involvement in the [[Esgonian Civil War]]. The Restoration Committee was made up of reformists that had been dedicated to Premier Maeng's policies of political and economic liberalisation, as well as opening up Daekan to the west. As such, the Committee became popularly known as the Maengist Cadre.

The 1997 Daekanese coup d'etat, also known as the July Coup, the Cadre Coup or the Restoration Revolution, was the successful seizure of power in Daekan by the Restoration Committee and its allied forces, against Premier Kwon Jung-Hoon. The coup lasted two days with minimal fighting, which nevertheless resulted in both military and civillian casualties.

The coup was orchestrated by the Restoration Committee, a group of Party, Ministry of State Security and Daekanese People's Army officials that had been alienated by Premier Kwon's reversal of his predecessor's (Maeng Song-Hun) Hyeogsin reforms, as well as the catastrophic fallout brought about from Kwon's aggressive foreign policy, specifically the involvement in the Esgonian Civil War. The Restoration Committee was made up of reformists that had been dedicated to Premier Maeng's policies of political and economic liberalisation, as well as opening up Daekan to the west. As such, the Committee became popularly known as the Maengist Cadre.
