What if the events in the United States during the 60s and 70s became history's greatest bloodless coup?
In the winter of 1973 the U.S. faced several crises. The OPEC oil embargo caused gasoline shortages and record oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost almost 49% and a deep recession stagnated the national economy, inflation approached 12%. The war in Vietnam expanded to Cambodia. The Watergate scandal polluted the Office of the President. Richard Nixon was accused of obstructing justice. Articles of impeachment were being drafted by the Senate. An new group and widespread group, The People's Environmental Protection League shut down 40% of U.S. rail traffic. A splinter group of economists incited the largest tax revolt in U.S. history. A new economic force built on trade and barter grew out of the secession of a small town in the Texas Hill Country and was dividing the country. Then in July 1974 a demonstration in Despot City attended by 300,000 staged history's greatest bloodless coup as the whole world watched.
