I was listening to a recorded lecture on the fall of the Wiemar Republic yesterday, and the instructor pointed out that when we talk about a military overthrow of the legitimate government, we have two words we generally use: coup, which is French, and putsch which is German. We have no English word for it.
“Reformation”? “Act of Supremacy”? “Glorious Revolution”?
Catholic and Enjoying It!
