    Only successful rebellion?:

    MacArthur has led the only successful rebellion in Australian history

    I actually don\'t entirely agree with that. I find it more a coup d\'tat, not a rebellion. The difference being that rebellions and revolts are conducted by those who - without the threat of arms - are otherwise powerless while a coup is conducted by a small cadre of elites. The people rebel when they find themselves oppressed or otherwise violently disagree with their situation. A coup is deckchairs on the Titanic.
