Category:Rebellion

Rebellion is the general term for an uprising, revolt, insurgency, or other related action that seeks to take control of a recognised nation-state government by an active and armed political movement due to failure in the conflict resolution process. While many rebellions are carried out in order to replace the leadership, some aim to completely reform the society and are called revolutions. A Coup d'état is a French term for the overthrow of the government usually by the military that seeks to usurp control of the country very quickly while avoiding widespread violence in the society, but also rebels or partisans.
