Coup d'état
A coup d'état (
IPA: or
AHD: [ko͞o"dā tä]), or simply coup, is the sudden overthrow of a
government, often through illegal means by a part of the state establishment — mostly replacing just the high-level figures. It is also an example of
political engineering. It can be (although not necessarily) violent, but it is different from a
revolution, which is staged by a larger group and radically changes the political system through unconstitutional means.
