revolt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A revolt is understood to be an uprising, an uprising or an uprising by people.

Definition

In contrast to the revolution , the term revolt mostly stands for the rebellion of a smaller group of people with local limitations. Typical examples are prisoner , slave, peasant, army or worker revolts, the term being used here synonymously with uprising . A revolt by troops or ship crews as well as prisoners is referred to as mutiny in legal language .

A revolution, on the other hand, is an insurrection of far greater scope; B. the French Revolution of 1789, which led to an upheaval in the whole of France and also affected neighboring countries. One often speaks of revolts when an attempt at revolution has failed. However, sometimes failed revolutions are referred to as revolution, such as the March Revolution of 1848/49.

Revolt can also be understood in a more individual sense. The term then means the rebellion of an individual against externally imposed or internalized constraints and expectations, for example against the family or the social norms of society.

Quotes

“In general, revolts only know failure, otherwise they would be revolutions. The failed revolt, however, intervenes in history, it sets signs that partly disappear only to reappear later, they change the world. "

- Johannes Agnoli :

Traditional dialogue between the Duke of Liancourt and King Louis XVI; Liancourt conveyed the news that the Bastille had been captured by the insurgent Parisians :

Liancourt: Sire, ils ont pris la Bastille!
King: C'est une révolte?
Liancourt: Non, Sire, c'est une révolution!
