The Donghak Peasant Revolution was a significant uprising in Korea that occurred between 1894 and 1895. It was led by the followers of Donghak, a religious and social movement founded by Choe Je-u. The revolution aimed to address the grievances of peasants suffering from heavy taxation, corruption, and foreign influence, particularly from Japan and Western powers. The movement gained momentum as peasants organized to demand reforms and better living conditions. The uprising ultimately led to the involvement of the Korean government and foreign military forces, resulting in a violent suppression of the revolution. Despite its failure, the Donghak Peasant Revolution is remembered as a pivotal moment in Korea's struggle for social justice and national sovereignty.
