The 1950 Haitian coup d'état was a military overthrow of the president of Haiti Dumarsais Estimé by a three-man junta, the same participants in the 1946 coup d'état.[1] The coup took place on May 10, 1950, as an army intervention whose motives were President Estimé's attempt to extend his term of office and the subsequent political unrest.[2] One of the participants in Estimé's overthrow, Colonel Paul Magloire, became president in the post-coup elections, the first direct elections by popular suffrage in Haiti.[3]
