List of peasant revolts

This is a chronological list of revolts organized by peasants.

Background
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
 * Redistribution of land
 * 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.
