What was the smoothest Coupe d'état in history?
Hitler's beer hall putsch of course.
Hitler did nothing wrong.
I love /his/torians subtle ways of discussing current events.
Brazilian military-Republican coup against the emperor was pretty smooth.
Hitler wins as for me as well.

18 Brumaire went pretty smoothly.
I don't think any blood spilled at all.

Pepin deposed the last Merovingian king, and they were powerless long before that
Mussolini's march on Rome was pretty smooth desu

Park Chung-hee's military takeover of South Korean government.

18 Brumaire and 2 Décembre were pretty well managed by coup standards. The Glorious Revolution, while bloodless, did spark a civil war, so it can't be considered bloodless.

>William Walker (May 8, 1824 – September 12, 1860) was an American physician, lawyer, journalist and mercenary, who organized several private military expeditions into Latin America, with the intention of establishing English-speaking colonies under his personal control, an enterprise then known as "filibustering." Walker usurped the presidency of the Republic of Nicaragua in 1856 and ruled until 1857, when he was defeated by a coalition of Central American armies. He was executed by the government of Honduras in 1860.
>Walker took up residence in Granada and set himself up as President of Nicaragua, after conducting a fraudulent election. He was inaugurated on July 12, 1856, and soon launched an Americanization program, reinstating slavery, declaring English an official language and reorganizing currency and fiscal policy to encourage immigration from the United States.

If by 2 décembre you mean Louis-Napoleon's coup, it wasn't that smooth. Things went quite decently in Paris, but there was plenty of démoc-soc resistence in the rest of the country, and afterwards N3 had to do a pretty ruthless bout of purging/repressing. It did the job without causing a civil war, but it certainly wasn't as cleans as L-N had wanted it to be.
The coup of May 15, 1934 in Latvia
As far as I know, there was only one bullet fired during the coup
