[edit] Mutiny or uprising?

Vietnamese sources call it an uprising, and so does Encyclopedia Britannica. DHN (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The books I used listed at the bottom used a mutiny. A mutiny is a form of uprising is it not? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I guess it's a matter of POV. Mutiny seems to have a negative connotation while uprising does not. DHN (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
