Book Description
This book, while giving
the historic course of the struggle only in its outlines, undertakes to explain
the origin of the peasant wars, the attitude of the various parties which
appear in the war, the political and religious theories through which those parties
strove to make clear to themselves their position; and finally, the result of
the struggle as determined by the historical-social conditions of life, to show
the political constitution of Germany of that time, the revolt against it; and
to prove that the political and religious theories were not the causes, but the
result of that stage in the development of agriculture, industry, land and
waterways, commerce and finance, which then existed in Germany. This, the only
materialistic conception of history, originates, not from myself but from Marx,
and can be found in his works on the French Revolution of 1848-49, published in
the same review, and in his Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte.
– Frederick Engels
