Peasant revolt is a term with broad application, typically meaning uprisings of rural or agricultural people against an existing order or establishment.
Peasant revolts in European history were popular uprisings by peasants against their lords and the institution of serfdom, including the 1358 Jacquerie in France, the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England, the 1524-1526 Peasants' War in Germany and the 1573 Croatian and Slovenian peasant revolt.
The Khmer Rouge revolt in Cambodia is the one of the most successful peasant revolts in history, because it materialized in peasant control of the town and city populace, and raising of the standard of living of peasants above non-peasants, including city dwellers and townspeople.

Popular revolts in late medieval Europe were uprisings and rebellions by (typically) peasants in the countryside, or the bourgeois in towns, against nobles, abbots and kings during the upheavals of the 14th through early 16th centuries, part of a larger "Crisis of the Late Middle Ages".
The Croatian and Slovenian peasant revolt of 1573 was a large peasant revolt in Croatia.
Peasants is typically a term used for rural agrarian poor while many uprisings occurred within towns and cities by tradesmen, thus the term is not fully encompassing of events as a whole for the period.
