Peasant Revolution
The term "Peasant Revolution" refers to uprisings and movements led by rural peasants against oppressive social, economic, or political conditions. These revolts often arise from grievances such as land dispossession, heavy taxation, and exploitation by landlords or ruling elites. Historical examples include the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, where peasants played a crucial role in challenging the existing power structures.
Peasant revolutions can significantly impact a country's political landscape, leading to reforms or even the establishment of new governments. They often highlight the struggles of the lower classes and can inspire broader social movements. The outcomes vary, with some revolutions achieving their goals while others may result in further oppression or conflict.
