List of peasant revolts

This is a chronological list of revolts organized by peasants.

Background

The Cudgel War was the 16th century peasant uprising in Finland, which was at that time part of the Kingdom of Sweden.[1]Poltettu kylä (Burned Village), by Albert Edelfelt, 1879

The history of peasant wars spans over two thousand years. A variety of factors fueled the emergence of the peasant revolt phenomenon, including:[2]

Later peasant revolts such as the Telangana Rebellion were also influenced by agrarian socialist ideologies such as Maoism.[3]

The majority of peasant rebellions ended prematurely and were unsuccessful. Peasants suffered from limited funding and lacked the training and organisational capabilities of professional armies.[4]
