Belonging to insurgents
Rebellion's is the possessive form of rebellion—an organized resistance or uprising against authority.
It typically modifies nouns describing aspects of the revolt: the rebellion's leaders, the rebellion's aftermath, the rebellion's ultimate failure.
The word captures both armed insurrections and broader movements of defiance against established power.
