22 ottob 1525 anni - German Peasant War
Descrizione:
1525- German Peasants’ War
1500s- economic condition of peasants was different in different places but was worse than it was in the 1400s
crop failures earlier made things worse
big revolts started in Swabia, Thuringia, the Rhineland, and Saxony
slogans came from protestant theology- “G/d’s righteousness” and “word of g/d” used
Luther wanted overthrow of Roman catholic church, NOT secular powers
Thought revolt against secular powers “would hasten the end of civilized society”
nobility mercilessly crushed the revolt
estimate around 75,000 peasants were killed in revolt
war strengthened positions of lay leaders
Reformation became less popular
Peasants’ condition improved a little bit- “enclosed fields, meadows and forests were returned to public use”
