- AnimalMuppet 5y agoHmm. I went to dictionary.com, looked up coup d'état, and it said: > a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force. So, I stand corrected. It does meet the definition of "attempted coup".
- coliveira 5y agoYes, many people are under the impression that a coup is only the result of military or generalized revolt. In fact most modern coups are staged as a political mechanism to avoid the results of the democratic norm.
