Coup d'état
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
According to John Brent, a coup d'etat was what occurred when the army took control over its own nation. (PROSE: Time and Relative)
Bernice Summerfield described it as "when one government replaces another in a hostile, aggressive and very non-democratic manner". (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Bone of Contention)
