The July Revolution was a coup de'tat attempt conducted by the 29th of July Movement under the command of the Revolutionary Committee for the Salvation of the Commonwealth. The coup attempt was extremely controversial within New Virginia as well as throughout the wider micronational community, but it is generally agreed [By whom?] to have been caused by an increasingly divided political landscape which had developed within the government.
Prior to the beginning of the coup event, New Virginia had recently went through several turbulent events domestically and abroad, including a conflict with the Empire of Austenasia where the Burgess Sophia Albina was tried for treason in Austenasia after proposal of legislation which would annex Austenasian territory as well as cut the ties which had thus far existed between the two nations. While the Austenasian Question itself would not be a direct cause for the coup, several observers later noted that the dispute sharpened the conflict between the right-wing Bradley van Dullahan in particular and the radical left of New Virginia in general.
