Overseas France beginning to overthrow government (7)
I believe the answer is:
foreign
'overseas' is the definition.
('foreign' can be similar in meaning to 'overseas')
'france beginning to overthrow government' is the wordplay.
'france' becomes 'f'.
'beginning to' suggests taking the first letters.
'government' becomes 'reign'.
The initial letter of 'overthrow' is 'o'.
'f'+'o'+'reign'='FOREIGN'
(Other definitions for foreign that I've seen before include "not typical" , "Of other countries" , "Overseas" , "Alien" , "Not native - maybe of Niger" .)
