Rebellion is "open, organized, and armed resistance to one's government or ruler; or the refusal to accept any form of authority."

Any type of civil war is considered a rebellion.

It means opposition to one in authority or dominance.

In English terms it means to go against and almost do the exact opposite of a what a person tells you to do because you wanted to.
