Mutiny is an open rebellion against established authority, typically by a group refusing to obey orders. This grave act of collective disobedience often arises within military or navy contexts, challenging the command structure.
Throughout history, mutinies have played significant roles in shaping politics and military discipline. Notable examples include the Bounty, where sailors seized control of the ship in the Pacific, leading to the settlement of Pitcairn. The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 in India challenged colonialism and significantly impacted the region. The Potemkin in 1905 became a symbol of revolutionary dissent during the lead-up to the revolution in Russia.
