Romanian peasants revolt against economic exploitation

In 1907, Romanian peasants rose up against economic exploitation by the aristocracy. The uprising began after a peasant was hit in the eye with a rock thrown by an estate manager, leading to violent protests and pogroms against Jews who served as middlemen for the ruling class. As the revolt continued, leftist revolutionaries arrived and redirected the anger towards the property-holding class. However, the Romanian government responded with extreme force, including firing artillery on protesters, resulting in thousands of deaths and the suppression of the uprising.
