Agrarian revolts are uprisings by farmers or rural communities against oppressive economic or social conditions. These revolts often arise due to issues like high taxes, land ownership disputes, or unfair labor practices. Historical examples include the Peasants' Revolt in England during 1381 and the Shays' Rebellion in the United States in 1786-1787. Such movements typically seek to address grievances related to land rights, agricultural policies, or the influence of wealthy landowners. They can lead to significant social and political changes, as seen in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), which aimed to redistribute land and improve the lives of rural populations.
