This post made me curious, so I went and checked out a middle school history textbook from my country and Jesus fucking Christ it's all propaganda LOL. An entire chapter dedicated to fellating the US. Complete erasure of USSR's contributions to WW2. They're calling the October Revolution a fucking coup d'etat :agony-consuming:
Lol and the US constitutional convention never gets called a coup, even though that is really effectively what it was. Madison and a few others wrote the whole thing without permission, got a couple big states to agree before the other delegates showed up (or weren't showing up, like Rhode Island did not want any changes to the articles of confederation so they didn't send any delegates) and was like "accept it or else" when they did.
In my country I learned in school I was told about WWII as the story of a small occupied nation heroically resisting Nazi occupation. I learned that the resistance movement, the British and the US were the good guys. Not a word about the USSR, not a word about the Pacific theatre, not a word about how local collaborators massively outnumbered the resistance, not a word about Nazi persecution of leftists, LGBT people, Roma people or anyone else than Jews (and very little about them).
Lol pretty much same here. It was ""the Allies"" that freed the camps and ended the War, and ackshually our country was with the good guys the whole time. Not a word about how were hanging Jews and Roma from meathooks, not a peep about how we were one of the biggest contributors to the Holocaust and one of the closest allies of Nazi Germany, we were just uhhhhhhhhhhh temporarily confused and we wanted to fight the evil Bolsheviks! Promise!

Huh I'm almost 30, took all the AP history courses in my American schooling, and just learned that for the first time today. Neat, thanks america
Yeah at best you can call it an "extra-legal" change of government.
