Why do generals attempting to coup always storm the palace? What happens next? Why do ordinary soldiers follow them? Are they in on the plot?
In: Economics
1. The palace is often where the current leader is. They go in to capture the current leader and claim to be the new leader.
2. Next they fight anyone who tries to get rid of them. If no one can, they become the de facto leader. Anyone that doesn’t follow the new leadership will be removed.
3. Commanders of the troops are probably in on it. The individual soldiers may or may not know beforehand.
