Violent action: coup leading to control by enemy forces (10)
I believe the answer is:
occupation
'control by enemy forces' is the definition.
'occupation' can be an answer for 'control' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'by enemy forces' bit.
'violent action coup leading' is the wordplay.
'violent' is an anagram indicator.
'leading' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'action' after 'coup' is 'coupaction'.
'coupaction' is an anagram of 'OCCUPATION'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for occupation that I've seen before include "end of invasion?" , "Calling" , "Doctor, for instance" , "the seizure and control of a foreign territory" , "Job, profession" .)
