| | Peasants' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In its origin a revolt against feudal oppression, it became, under the leadership of Müntzer, a war against all constituted authorities, and an attempt to establish by force his ideal Christian commonwealth, with absolute equality and the community of goods. | | | The plebeians, peasants and all those sympathetic to their cause made up the third revolutionary camp led by preachers such as Müntzer. | | | The articles' eloquent statement of social, political and economic grievances in the increasingly popular Protestant thread unified the population in the massive uprising that initially broke out in Lower Swabia in 1524 and quickly spread to other areas of Germany. |

| | The significant events, aside from the polemic, propaganda, written appeals and publications were the peasant uprising and the establishment attack and reprisals for the peasants’ actions. | | | What is clear is that the origins of the German Peasants’ War did not stem from Anabaptist claims or practices. | | | Like any revolution, uprising or protest, the establishment severely distrusted the peasant movement and soon took steps to control and diffuse their claims: ‘the rulers restored order by violence directed against subjects who had broken the barriers of traditional deference’ [Stayer, op cit., p. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: War of the Peasants |
| | From the end of the fifteenth century great movements for political reform had been in progress, but on account of the selfish policy of the territorial princes all attempts to strengthen the central power had failed, and the Nuremberg Diet of 1524 had completely paralyzed the imperial administration. | | | The revolt, however, was at its height and its leaders thought themselves able to carry out their political aims. | | | During the years 1492-1500 there had been sporadic outbreaks in Algäu, Alsace, and in the Diocese of Speyer, but they had been betrayed and suppressed. |

| | When the dark cloud of war rose up all over Germany, and obscured the pure light of the Reformation, Luther dipped his pen in blood, and burst out in a most violent manifesto "against the rapacious and murderous peasants." He charged them with doing the Devil’s work under pretence of the gospel. | | | The German peasants were the beasts of burden for society, and in no better condition than slaves. | | | The advice of the Reformer was only too well executed by the exasperated princes, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, who now made common cause against the common foe. |

| | At the beginning of the 16th century, many European countries were involved in peasants' revolts: the great revolt of Dosza in Hungary in 1514, the uprising of Slovenian serfs in 1515, and, most significantly, the great peasants' war in Germany in 1524-1525. | | | The day after, the peasants were defeated at the battle of Kerestinec and rebels’ units were overcome at Planina, Jurkloštar and near Jastrebarsko. | | | The causes of the revolt can be traced to aggravation of the peasant’s condition and many impediments to peasant trade. |
