Which is better?

If this movement actually took place, then I would use the first variant. If it never happened, ie: only planned, then the second variant.
To me only the second one makes sense. Given that the action of The Movement was meant to stop the coup from happening it doesn't make sense to say that it would happen.
Sorry, I hadn't finished writing!
Which is better? The Movement attempted to justify their actions stating they needed to avoid a coup which would be mounted from the barracks.
