A coup d'état, often referred to simply as a coup, is the sudden and illegal seizure of government power, typically executed by a small group that uses force or the threat of force. It usually involves the overthrow of the existing leadership, such as a president or government, and can occur without widespread public support. The term is French for "stroke of state," emphasizing the abrupt nature of the action. Coups can lead to significant political instability and changes in governance.
