The Carnation Revolution is the only one that comes to mind, personally
The 1941 Officers' coup in Yugoslavia. Led by the higher ups in the air force, they deposed Prince Paul (Pavle Karađorđević) for joining the Axis and replaced him with King Peter, who was 17 at the time. It ended up leading to the Germans invading Yugoslavia and winning very quickly, but it forced them to delay the invasion of the USSR by about a month, and depending on who you ask this either had a major effect on the war in the Eastern front, or none at all.
1968 Peru coup, replacing a neoliberal government with a left-leaning military dictatorship that last for 7 years before being overthrown by a right-wing coup
King Michael's coup in Romania during the second world war
The 1924 Estonian coup which was organised by communists but failed
24th of July Coup in Italy in 1943
The 1974 coup in Ethiopia
1979 El Salvador coup
1983 Burkina Faso coup

Based. Chinas foreign policy back then especially was so garbo.
I think that armed forces tend to be fascist more often than not. So you don't get coups as much as you get revolutions. But I'm interested to see what others share.
Also worth noting that
Coup d'état = regime change done by elites (usually military brass)
Revolution = regime change done by the masses
This is why coups are mostly right wing.
The Stauffenberg plot would have been this if it had succeeded.
Stauffenberg was fascist. He was the NSDAP version of a #NeverTrumper.
Yes, but it would have been a military coup against a fascist regime.
