Is it just me or is the navy always a hotbed of rebellion for some reason? HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën, the German navy mutinies at the end of ww1, hell even Krondstadt (although I hold pess respect for the latter for obvious reasons) amongst others. Idk, i feel like i hear about it often enough so it’s starting to intrigue me
Mentioned famous mutinies and didn’t even talk about the Potemkin smh.
But seriously, it makes sense when you consider the conditions sailors are often in: stuck on wood/steel boxes in the middle of nowhere for weeks to months to even years at a time with nothing but ocean for miles around. Humans are land creatures and it’s where we belong; we’ll never really get used to life at sea or in space or wherever - we just learn how to tolerate it and only up to a certain point.
It makes sense that mutinies at sea are fairly common throughout history.
