How to use "Overthrown" in context?

Although the term " overthrown " suggests a positive, stable outcome, in reality the aftermath of a coup d'etat is often chaotic and violent. After a coup is successful, the new regime may be eager to show its strength and assertiveness by suppressing all opposition - even if this means excessive violence and brutality. The new government may also be reluctant to compromise or negotiate with those who opposed the coup, fearing that they might try to compromise or work with the previous government again. In the short term, this results in a power struggle that can be incredibly destructive.
