C
Explanation
The military coup in the latter half of 2006 took place in Thailand. On 19 September 2006 Thailand’s Royal Thai Army seized power from the elected government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, declared martial law, rescinded the 1997 constitution and announced a caretaker administration while promising a new constitution and future elections [1]. Contemporary reporting and country analyses corroborate that the takeover was a successful military intervention that deposed Thaksin amid a prolonged political crisis and mass protests earlier that year [2]. No comparable successful military coup occurred in Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam in 2006, making Thailand the clear and documented instance for that period.
