Please note it was quite difficult to give precise numbers for 'successful' or 'failed' coups in some cases, so there may be errors. Quite a few countries narrowly miss being on this list. Also there are some countries that have had a lot of failed coup attempts but few or no successful coups (such as Japan with 9 attempts but none successful, so far...)
