Mutiny

Mutiny refers to a rebellion against authority, especially in military or naval settings, where soldiers or crew members refuse to obey orders or try to overthrow their leaders. This act typically arises from dissatisfaction with conditions, treatment, or decision-making. For instance, naval mutinies have occurred when sailors protest harsh discipline or poor living conditions. Mutiny can lead to serious consequences, including legal repercussions for those involved, and can significantly impact military operations or the stability of a government. Essentially, it reflects a breakdown of discipline and loyalty within a structured organization.
