was the 16th century peasant uprising in
Finland, which was at that time part of the
Kingdom of Sweden. (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: •
Tax resistance •
Social inequality •
Religious war •
National liberation • Resistance against
serfdom •
Land reform • External factors such as
plague and
famine Later peasant revolts such as the
Telangana Rebellion were also influenced by
agrarian socialist ideologies such as
Maoism. 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. ==Chronological list==
