Chinese Peasant Movement

The Chinese Peasant Movement refers to the collective efforts of rural farmers in China during the early 20th century, particularly after the 1911 Revolution. Discontented by poverty, landlessness, and oppressive landlord practices, peasants organized to demand land reforms, better working conditions, and more rights. This movement gained momentum throughout the 1920s and 1930s, leading to significant social and political changes, including the rise of the Chinese Communist Party, which promoted agrarian reforms. Ultimately, the movement highlighted the struggles of the rural populace and played a crucial role in shaping modern Chinese history.
