1751 military coup in the Confoederatio Aemilia

In the morning of 12.XII.1751, the first and second division of the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen deployed to Stadt Taktwinkel, with infantry and Panzergefechtswagen II. Their goal was to overthrow the government of Princess Emilia Antoinette, who had lost a lot of support from the population since the Nazarene Uprising of 1748 and the Nazarene Uprising of 1749. Serious concerns existed that she would appoint her daughter Aimée Isabelle to the throne, making the monarchy hereditary, as the princess had hinted towards this in private conversations with government officials. There were also serious concerns that the federation was becoming less and less secular, and that there would be less and less room for other religions than witchcraft. Unlike during the Nazarene Uprisings, support for the coup had been widespread among the armed forces and the bureaucracy, although the princess did have many people still loyal to her.

The coup started with the procession of armoured vehicles driving up to the palace and circling it, infantry stormed the palace and abducted Princess Emilia Antoinette, the suspected crown-princess Aimée Isabelle and Merida Vala, the spouse of Princess Emilia Antoinette. They were incarcerated in the city jail under the suspicion of subversion of the socialist revolution and instigating reactionary sentiments. At the same time, in the Aemilian Senate, the senate president called for a special meeting, all members were required to pledge an oath to the socialist revolution and the Lanzerwald Republic, twenty members rejected this call and were subsequently arrested.

As the coup processed, envoys from the Mondosphere were desperately trying to find out what would happen to the Aemilian royal family and they did not find it jolly at all when they learned that the revolutionaries considered sending her to the guillotine for her alleged crimes. After veiled threats of invasion to liberate the princess were presented, the family was placed on a train and sent to Rossmarkt, where she was handed over to the Rossheim Dragoon Guards at the border.
