"Coup d'état: A Historical Chronicle of Power and Rebellion" From the eviction of judges during Louis Napoleon's coup d'état in 1851 to the murder of Nazim Pasha in Constantinople, coups have shaped history. Le Petit Journal's front cover illustration vividly captures the chaos and bloodshed that unfolded during these turbulent times. Latin America witnessed its fair share of revolutions, as depicted in lithographs that portray both hope and despair. The Neapolitan Republic faced a fierce reaction, leading to its downfall in Naples back in 1799. Catherine II's ruthless overthrow of her husband Peter III showcases the dark side of power dynamics. In December 1931, Adolf Hitler's supporters attempted a coup d'état in Hesse, resulting in government reprisals and searches for evidence against Nazi Comites. The lithograph depicting a fireball amidst a crowd symbolizes the explosive nature of such uprisings. Tragedy struck Serbia when King Alexander I and Queen Draga were assassinated, leaving Belgrade engulfed by grief. Meanwhile, "The Claw, " once a savior recovering shipwrecked treasures from the sea depths now lies at rest beneath those very waters. Lastly, an engraving immortalizes "The Four Sergeants of La Rochelle" who fought valiantly for their cause in 1822 but ultimately met their tragic fate. These events serve as reminders that power struggles can lead to both triumphs and tragedies throughout history. Through these glimpses into past upheavals and rebellions captured by various forms of artistry – from engravings to lithographs – we are reminded that coups d'état shape nations' destinies while leaving indelible marks on humanity's collective memory.
