raise the flag of revolt

A similar idion seems to be used in English. For example, in the book 'Society' by David Faure, the following sentence appears:

“Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Wong Hing and others raise the flag of revolt at Wong Kong and Yam Lin in SW Kwang-tung. 18th July, 1907.”

to rebel

This is commonly referred to as a "rebellion", so "to rebel" would suffice...

Ref-1: (end of p. 219-beginning of p. 220):
"The beylerbeys of Tripoli and Erzurum, i.e Yusuf Paşa and Abaza Mehmed Paşa, rebelled out of hatred towards the Janissaries and killed a great number of them, and they were preparing to come to Istanbul."
