Not sure. Isn't the term traditionally used to refer to the overthrowing of a regime?  And something about the idea of a complete rotation.

Just trying to figure out what differentiates an uprising from a revolution.  Seems analagous to a battle v. a war.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
