organized armed rebellion against authority
A long, organized fight with weapons by a group of people who want to remove a government or other authority.
用法パターン：
an insurgency against [a government/authority]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "insurgency" for any kind of protest or disagreement. In standard use, "insurgency" almost always involves organized groups using weapons or violence against a government or authority over time. For simple protests without weapons, words like "protest" or "demonstration" are more appropriate.
類義語
insurrection (Often slightly more formal or legal; focuses strongly on the act of rising up against authority, sometimes without emphasizing the long, ongoing conflict.)
対義語
loyalty (Describes support and obedience to a government or authority instead of rebellion against it.)
