Abstract
The year 1962 opened with brisk outbursts of military revolt. Four risings — those in the Lebanon, Portugal, Turkey and Venezuela — were unsuccessful, but the month of March witnessed three victorious revolts in quick succession. In Burma, General Ne Win deposed the government and established direct military rule. In Argentina the armed forces removed President Frondizi and set up a Provisional President in his place. In Syria, exactly six months after the 1961 coup, military factions first swept away the civilian régime and then, quarrelling among themselves, restored it.
