countercoup
A coup d'état ( (listen); French for 'stroke of state'; plural coups d'état (same pronunciation)), also known as a coup or overthrow, is a seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal seizure of power by a political faction, politician, cult, rebel group, military, or a dictator. Many scholars consider a coup successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.
