In the midst of political instability and turmoil, factions within the Turkish Armed Forces attempted a coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government. This coup unfolded on a tense summer night as soldiers occupied strategic locations across Istanbul and Ankara, including the Bosphorus Bridge, military bases, and government buildings. The coup plotters aimed to overthrow the government, alleging a deepening corruption and authoritarianism under Erdoğan. The situation escalated rapidly as supporters of Erdoğan took to the streets to resist the coup, listening to calls from the President urging citizens to confront the military. The ensuing chaos resulted in fierce gunfire and armored vehicles mobilizing in urban centers. As the night progressed, loyalist forces and civilians clashed with rebel soldiers, leading to significant fatalities and injuries. The government utilized social media and other communication means to rally support against the coup. Within hours, the coup attempt began to collapse as Ankara's loyalist security forces regained control. Following the failure of the coup, a massive crackdown ensued across various sectors including the military, education, and the judiciary, with thousands arrested. The aftermath included a surge in nationalism and calls for a reformation of Turkey's political structure, as Erdoğan sought to consolidate power even further, citing the coup as justification for his actions.
