Jewish Rebellion

The Jewish Rebellion, primarily the Great Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE), was an uprising by Jewish groups against Roman rule in Judea. Tensions arose from oppressive taxation, cultural insensitivity, and religious conflicts. The revolt aimed to restore Jewish independence and religious practices. It led to significant violence, the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, and ultimately Roman military victory. The rebellion had lasting impacts on Jewish society and identity, symbolizing resistance but also resulting in profound consequences for the Jewish population under Roman rule.
