Judean Revolt

The Judean Revolt (66–73 CE) was a Jewish uprising against Roman rule in the province of Judea. Tensions built due to heavy taxation, religious conflicts, and local dissatisfaction with Roman control. The revolt began with attacks on Roman authorities and Jewish collaborators, eventually escalating into a full-scale war. It culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 CE, a pivotal event that significantly impacted Jewish history. The rebellion reflected deep resistance to foreign domination and the struggle to preserve Jewish culture and independence.
