One of them was the 1953 Iranian Coup D'etat- it strenghetend the monarchical rule of Reza Pahlawi - the Shah of Iran.

The other one was in Guatemala: in 1954 the CIA worked to end the revolution in Guatemala and helped establish a military junta.- after this Guatemala had a dictatorship-style rule until 1996.
