June 1933 Siamese coup d'état
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siamese coup d’état of June 1933 (Thai: รัฐประหาร 20 มิถุนายน พ.ศ. 2476) was considered the first time in Thai history that the military successfully overthrew the constitutional government. The coup took place peacefully on 20 June 1933 in Bangkok. The coup was led by Colonel Phraya Phahon Pholphayuhasena against the premiership of the Premier Phraya Manopakorn Nititada.[1] The coup was in effect a counter-coup against the dictatorial policies of Phraya Mano stemming from the Yellow cover dossier crisis.
