Colonial military training shaped armed forces to prioritize maintaining order over defending democratic governance, making military intervention appear as a duty rather than a crime; combined with Cold War international dynamics where external powers like the US and Britain tacitly supported coups against inconvenient governments, these factors created conditions where military coups could be justified and effectively encouraged.

How a Colonial Mindset Justified Coups #ghana #history #coupsAjouté :
The colonial military culture. Ghana's armed forces were trained by the British to maintain order, not to defend democratic governance. When politicians appeared to be driving the country toward instability, military intervention felt to the officer corps like a duty, not a crime.
And the international context. During the Cold War, external powers, including the United States and Britain, were not always opposed to coups that removed governments they found inconvenient. The 1966 coup against Nkrumah had at minimum tacit international support.
When coups go uncondoned, they are effectively encouraged.
