List of peasant revolts
Template:Short description This is a chronological list of revolts organized by peasants.
BackgroundEdit
The history of peasant wars spans over two thousand years. A variety of factors fueled the emergence of the peasant revolt phenomenon, including:<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
- Tax resistance
- Social inequality
- Religious war
- National liberation
- Resistance against serfdom
- Land reform
- External factors such as plague and famine
Later peasant revolts such as the Telangana Rebellion were also influenced by agrarian socialist ideologies such as Maoism.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The majority of peasant rebellions ended prematurely and were unsuccessful. Peasants suffered from limited funding and lacked the training and organisational capabilities of professional armies.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
