How effective was Quisling's coup in 1940?

  • Successful

  • Led to negotiations

  • Completely failed

  • Brought a truce

Answer

Completely failed as it was poorly organized, lacked popular support, and faced stiff resistance from both Norwegian military and civilian forces. The invading German forces had to intervene directly to secure control, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of Quisling's coup.
