Historian Martin Motte notices in the Maurrassian coup de force tactic an analogical reduction similar to that developed by Frédéric Mistral in his Écrits politiques of 1869 : Hope and aspire.

This state of mind, we intend it essentially to suggest, to arouse, to support […] a coup […] directed against the regime which is killing France.For Maurras and Henri Dutrait-Crozon, it is a question of establishing the intellectual and moral conditions favorable to the overthrow of the Republic and to bring about a "revolution operated from above".

May 1, 1660, after the death of the Lord Protector Olivier Cromwell, General Monck achieves the feat of restoring King Charles II to the English throne without shedding a single drop of blood.

[1] Talleyrand is held up as a model of the "gloved revolution",[1] by allowing through a subtle game of negotiations with the Tsar and the King of Prussia, the Restoration of the Bourbons as a pledge of peace in Europe against a Napoleon going to war.

First, that of convincing as many French people as possible "to the Royal Cause through effective propaganda"[1] in order to give the "desirable impetus" and consequently to shape "a movement of opinion which is intense enough to arouse, when the day comes, men of help."

On December 20, 1926, the Pope Pie XI ordered Catholics to break with Action Française and published the decree of the Congregation of the Index of January 29, 1914, which condemned seven works by Maurras, including Si le coup de force est possible.

[8] During the trial that led to the administrative case law dissolving the Action française League in 1936, the government commissioner Andrieux supported his argument by quoting the brochure Si le coup de force est possible.
