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. |
In each instance overwhelming force was used. There is a lesson there.
