GPT o1: The word insurrection generally refers to a violent uprising or rebellion against an established authority or government. Which event is considered the “latest insurrection” can depend on how you define “insurrection” and which sources you consult. Here are a few recent events often described (by various observers or in media) as insurrections or attempted insurrections:

1. Wagner Group Mutiny in Russia (June 2023)

• What happened: On June 23–24, 2023, the Wagner Group—a private military organization led by Yevgeny Prigozhin—staged a short-lived mutiny against Russia’s military leadership. Wagner forces took control of the Southern Military District headquarters in Rostov-on-Don and advanced toward Moscow.

• Outcome: The rebellion ended within about 24 hours through negotiations; Prigozhin halted his forces’ advance to avoid “bloodshed,” and the Russian government dropped the immediate criminal charges of armed mutiny.

• Why some call it an insurrection: Although it was brief, it was an armed uprising against the state’s military command—hence it is frequently described as an attempted insurrection or coup.

2. Brazil Government Buildings Attack (January 2023)

• What happened: On January 8, 2023, supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court, and Presidential Palace in Brasília, refusing to accept the election results that brought Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to power.

• Outcome: Security forces regained control of the buildings within hours, and hundreds of people were arrested.

• Why some call it an insurrection: It was a violent attempt to overturn or protest the newly inaugurated government, bearing similarities to the U.S. Capitol attack in motivation and symbolism.

3. U.S. Capitol Attack (January 2021)

• What happened: On January 6, 2021, a crowd of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.

• Outcome: The riot was quelled within hours, but caused multiple deaths, injuries, and significant property damage.

• Why some call it an insurrection: Many U.S. officials—including members of Congress—labeled it an insurrection because it aimed to interrupt a constitutional process, and it involved breaches of federal property by force.

Points to Note

1. Legal vs. Colloquial Usage

• The term “insurrection” can be used informally by media or politicians to describe an uprising. However, whether an event is officially ruled an insurrection often depends on specific legal definitions and judgments in a given country’s courts or statutes.

2. Ongoing Global Unrest

• There may be other, more localized uprisings or rebellions around the world that are less widely covered but could also fit the definition of an insurrection.

3. Short-Lived vs. Sustained

• Some rebellions (like the Wagner mutiny) end quickly, while others (in various regions) may continue for months or years. Whether the label “insurrection” sticks can depend on how the conflict evolves.

Conclusion

• The most recent high-profile event frequently called an insurrection or attempted insurrection is the Wagner Group mutiny in Russia (June 2023)—though it ended very quickly.

• In early 2023, the Brazil government buildings attack also drew comparisons to an insurrection.

• In the U.S., the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack has been one of the more prominent modern cases described as an insurrection.

Ultimately, the exact “latest insurrection” can vary with new developments and how strictly one applies the term.
