Peasant Revolutions

Peasant revolutions refer to uprisings by rural peasants against oppressive social, economic, or political conditions, often sparked by issues like land ownership, heavy taxation, or exploitation by the ruling classes. Notable examples include the French Revolution (1789), the Taiping Rebellion in China (1850-1864), and the Russian Revolution (1917). These revolts typically aim to achieve greater rights, land reform, and socio-economic justice. They highlight the struggles of agrarian societies in challenging the power of elites and transforming their lives, shaping significant historical changes and influencing modern governance and social structures.
