The first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history is known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which occurred during the Eastern Han Dynasty (around 184–205 AD). The significance of this revolution lies in its role as a catalyst for the eventual collapse of the Han Dynasty. It exposed the weaknesses of the central government, including corruption and economic instability, and highlighted the grievances of the peasants, leading to further unrest and political turmoil in China.
