"Mutiny" in context
A mutiny is a revolt against authority. It is an organized, armed uprising against an establishment, government, or leader. In some cases, it could involve a group of people overthrowing the authority without any prior organization. Historically, mutinies have often been led by dissatisfied individuals in the military, police forces, and other public positions. They are also sometimes used by civilian populations to oppose oppressive governments.
While some mutinies have been successful, most of them fail to overthrow the ruling party. Mutiny is usually seen as an extreme form of protest, usually resorted to only after other measures have failed.
