    verb
    Simple past and past participle of rebel.

    The colonists rebelled against the distant monarchy and declared independence.

    Several provinces had rebelled before the empire finally lost control.

    Note

    One spelling does double duty: it stands alone as a simple past (the provinces rebelled) and follows have in the perfect (they had rebelled). Because the verb is intransitive, the participle builds perfects but not passives. Nobody is "rebelled" by anyone; the authority being defied comes in with against, as in rebelled against the monarchy. Mind the doubled l before -ed.
