Note
A plural that counts events rather than a condition. When rebellion means armed resistance in general (rebellion spread through the north), it takes no plural. The -s form belongs to the countable meanings: separate organized uprisings against a government, or single acts of defiance against any authority, from a province's revolt to a teenager's small rebellions against curfew. Peasant rebellions, several rebellions and a series of rebellions are its natural frames.
