French term meaning "blow to the state" coined after General Napoleon Bonaparte's 1799 seizure of power and suppression of the Constitution of 1795 in that country. Though often associated with military uprisings a "coup" is defined as any entity within a existing political system that acts illegally to appropriate all power to that entity while often violently suppressing other institutions and power-centers (media, legislatures, trade unions, political parties, etc.).
You know, the 1917 so-called "Bolshevik Revolution" of Lenin and his people in Russia is interpreted by some historians as really just a coup d'etat by an armed political party when Lenin's followers used their control over the capital's local government to seizure control of the whole city, drive out the national government and use St. Petersburg to launch their conquest of the country.
