Double Coup D'etats of 1917 (Principia Moderni IV Map Game)

The Double Coup's of 1917 also known as the Revolutions of 1917 were a series of revolts and uprisings in New Granada that took place throughout the year of 1917 which eventually lead to the New Granadian Civil War. This had been a result of New Granada's recent defeats during the Great War and the impossible ambitions of Palestrante Gabriel Siquiera along with those of King Miguel II.

The Russo-Arabian War and Laurentian Crisis
In the early 1910s, King Miguel was eager to establish a powerful empire within New Granada , entering in the Russo-Arabian War to seize Hawaii , who at the time was a Russian Protectorate however due to Belka's intervention in 1913 , Miguel II was unable to seize complete control of Hawaii which instead became a joint protectorate of Belka and New Granada. At the same time however Bresil, prepared the invasions of Peru and Argentina resulting in Miguel II's intervention stating that Bresil would break the balance of power in Laurentia however 1914 he withdrew from a possible intervention leading to the Cortes Gerais voting in the establishment of a Foreign Minister in order to prevent any other false moves.

The Great War
In 1914 following New England's declaration of war on Savannah, New Granada's ally , the Cortes Gerais voted to declare war on New England attacking Texas seizing parts of Louisiana , however after an approach made by both New England and Belka , New Granada switched sides in 1915 after the elections of Gabirel Siquiera as the new Palesrante of New Granada. However Gabriel's decision was fatal, and New Granada suffered a series of defeats at the hands of it's former allies resulting in Gabriel along with King Miguel II to lose their popularity.
