Military Coup attempted
Time: Monday Feb 23, 1981
Place: Spain
Details: There was an attempted military coup, known as 23-F, on 23 February 1981, when the Cortes were seized by members of the Guardia Civil in the parliamentary chamber. During the coup, the King, in the uniform of the Captain-General of the Spanish armed forces, gave a public television broadcast calling for unambiguous support for the legitimate democratic government. The broadcast is believed to have been a major factor in foiling the coup.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
