The 2029 American coup d'etat, also known as Black Wednesday was a military coup d'etat conducted in the United States by a coalition of far-right military officers, with assistance from far-right political activists. The coup was ultimately successful, and resulted in the removal of virtually all moderate and left-wing opposition in the United States government, many of whom were later executed or deported to political prison camps in rural Alaska. Many historians call April 4 the day "America as was previously known ceased to exist", although the United States wouldn't cease to exist in all forms until 2032 (2047 including American Columbia).
