Content: It has often been seen as a precursor of communism and socialism. The uprising engulfed most of the German-speaking lands and created a crisis for Martin Luther and the Reformation. The German Peasant War was a crucial moment in developing the thought of Martin Luther and the evolution of the Reformation. While inspired in part by the Reformation, the uprising forced the movement into the hands of the landed nobility and elites in the German-speaking lands. Luther's Reformation became an increasingly conservative movement. The conservative Reformation forced commoners to establish faith and church that met their needs and gave birth to the Radical or Popular Reformation. The Peasant Wars Origins
The German Peasant Wars of 1524-1527 were revolts aimed at overthrowing the existing socio-economic system in German-speaking lands. The Revolt involved peasants and merchants, artisans, members of the minor nobility, and Protestant pastors. They all united in changing the prevailing political system. There were many reasons for the outbreak.
