Answer:

its true

Step-by-step explanation:

French for "blow of state"), usually shortened to coup,[1] (also known as an overthrow) is a seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it is a violent, illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, military, or a dictator.[2] Many scholars consider a coup successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.
