Insurrection describes an organized attempt to revolt against civil authority or an established government, often carried out with the goal of taking control through force.[1][2][3][4] It involves a coordinated rebellion in which a group rejects the legitimacy of current power and turns to direct action to oppose it. Though sometimes brief, insurrections often erupt from long-standing tensions, transforming political frustration into physical confrontation when peaceful methods are no longer seen as viable.
When something is called an insurrection, it signifies a rising marked by defiance, strategy, and intent to undermine or overthrow authority. Governments usually treat such acts as serious threats, responding with legal action or military force to restore control. Participants, on the other hand, may view the movement as a form of justice or liberation. The term captures the turning point where organized resistance escalates into a full rebellion aimed at changing the balance of power.
