Anyone?
Hungary, 1956. Israel 66-70 AD. Indian Nations in the US.

Those are three that I thought of off the top of my head.
EDIT:
Realized that the seccessionists of the US civil war were also insurgents.
Don't forget the Norman conquest of England.

EDIT: I forgot the Conquistadors and the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca.
