TIMELINE - Honduras in isolation after coup

(Reuters) - Honduras' interim government on Sunday lifted a curfew imposed on the country since the June 28 coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya, saying it had succeeded in restoring calm to the nation.

Honduras' military deposed and expelled Zelaya from the country last month after the Congress and Supreme Court accused him of violating the constitution by trying to lift limits on presidential terms. Congress appointed its head, Roberto Micheletti, to replace Zelaya.

Here is a timeline of events since the coup:

June 28, 2009 - Soldiers arrest President Manuel Zelaya in a pre-dawn raid on his home and expel him in his nightwear on a flight to Costa Rica.

-- The Honduran Congress names an interim president, Roberto Micheletti. The Supreme Court says it ordered the army to remove Zelaya.

-- The European Union condemns what it calls a "coup d'etat" against Zelaya.

-- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an ally of Zelaya, puts his troops on alert and says he will respond militarily if his ambassador to the Central American country is kidnapped or killed.

June 29 - U.S. President Barack Obama says the coup is illegal and will set a "terrible precedent" of transition by military force unless it is reversed.

-- At a meeting in the Nicaraguan capital Managua, leftist Latin American countries say they will withdraw their ambassadors from Honduras.
