I am Russia, and have Argentina sphered. 4 brigades of anarcho liberals rose up there. The problem is that the Argentine military consists of 1 single brigade. I cannot influence them when they have rebels. The UK is trying to steal them from me. Do I have to go kill the rebels?

If the rebels manage to take the capital, the country's government will be replaced and all foreign relations will be reset. If you have already have them sphered or have a lot invested in them, that's a BAD thing, and you'll want to send a few brigades to put down the rebellion, if possible. I've done that in a number of spherelings, after requesting military access.

On the other hand, when a GP has major revolts worldwide (after a couple of wars against Russia and China in rapid succession) and its capital is taken by rebels, it's potentially a golden opportunity for everyone else, as all of their spherelings are released and their foreign influence is removed from all countries. The UK suffered a successful rebellion in one game I recall, and they lost all influence and their sphere in India, as well as everywhere else. It's not every day that you get to see a Belgian controlled India, or a UK that's near the bottom of the GP list.
