Coup d'état

edit

Coup d'état should be added, it's French for a blow/strike to the State/Government.

When a government gets overthrown...any thoughts?

Agree! I first heard the expression in an history lesson at prep' school.

What a mess of an article this is! It seems you are not supposed to make an addition if the term is included in another section of the article. For instance, Coup d'état is already in the section labelled, "Not used as such in French". Another IP has reverted the editing by 64.128.214.129 (talk), which I reinstated, only to have it reverted, again by the same IP.
This article is not 'user-friendly' and needs a major overhaul.

Oh! I didn't see that down there, thanks for clarifying/ correcting...should've known that was somewhere in the article. Cboy619 (talk)14:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
