	Peasants' War, 1524-1525
		The Peasants' War was a social revolution in Germany which, though preceded by a 100-year history of tension and occasional outbreaks, broke out in full bloody revolutionary form in June 1524, and was relatively suppressed by May 1525.
		Called a "peasants' war" by its aristocratic enemies, it involved various estates of commoners in the regions it affected (peasants, rural artisans, miners and unprivileged townspeople) and it was led most often by non-peasants.
		Only with the beginning of April is the label "war" war at all appropriate, and then it was a war by princes and their mercenary armies, led mainly by the Swabian League, to disperse or destroy the large bands of commoners.

		Fighting between peasants and retainers of the nobles broke out in 1524 in Stühlingen, near what is now the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen, and the insurrection rapidly spread over much of central, western, and southern Germany except Bavaria; it also was strong in Austria.
		In 1525 the peasants formulated their demands, which included the right to choose their own ministers, the abolition of serfdom, the right to fish and kill wild game, the abolition of many kinds of feudal dues, and the guarantee of fair treatment in courts presided over by the feudal nobles.
		Paradoxically, the opposition of Martin Luther, whose principles were adopted by the dissatisfied peasants and lent inspiration to the revolt, contributed to the defeat of the peasants.

	German Peasants War (Site not responding. Last check: )

		It is to the rulers’ advantage that the peasants have a bad conscience and an unjust cause, and that any peasant who is killed is lost in body and soul and is eternally the devil’s.
		The peasants are not content with belonging to the devil themselves; they force and compel many good people to join their devilish league against their wills, and so make them partakers of all of their own wickedness and damnation.
