Kollektiv væbnet eller
civilt politisk adfærd, der er rettet mod et regime, i et forsøg på at styrte
dette regime. Eksempelvis kan
bønder gøre oprør mod godsejere som led i en revolution, klassekamp eller
mytteri mod befalingsmænd. Oprør har været
almindelige over hele verden, lige så længe der har
været uretfærdighed.
Oprør financeres eksempelvis ved
handel med oprørsdiamanter.
Blandt oprør kan nævnes:
Bondekrigen i Tyskland, Merthyr
oprøret i Wales 1831 og Taiping-oprøret i Kina (1850-1865).
Blandt oprørsbevægelser kan nævnes ANC i Sydafrika.

'This study appeared as chapter 5 in Sketches from Eastern
History, a book of articles by the great philologist Theodor
Noldeke (1836-1930), translated into English by John S. Black
(London, 1892). Chapter 5, "A Servile War in the East" pp. 146-175
is a well-documented and very readable account of the most
dangerous slave rebellion under the Arab Abbasid dynasty. The
uprising is known as the rebellion of the Zanj/Zenj/Zinj after its
most important component, East African slaves from the area known
as Zanj (whence Zanzibar). The movement incorporated slaves and the
poor of many peoples and ethnicities, though the black East African
element seems to have predominated and held commanding positions in
the group's military. The uprising lasted for 14 years from 869 to
883, and though suppressed brutally by the Arabs, its ideology did
not die out.'
