The Galician Peasant Uprising of 1846, also known as the Galician Rabacja,[1]Galician Slaughter,[2] or the Szela uprising[3] (German: Galizischer Bauernaufstand; Polish: Rzeź galicyjska or Rabacja galicyjska), was a two-month uprising of impoverished Austrian Galician[a] peasants that led to the suppression of the szlachta uprising (Kraków Uprising) and the massacre of szlachta in Galicia, in the Austrian Partition zone, in early 1846. The uprising, which lasted from February to March, primarily affected the lands around the town of Tarnów.[4]
A revolt against serfdom, it was directed against manorial property and oppression (such as the manorial prisons).[5] Galician peasants killed about 1,000 nobles and destroyed about 500 manors.[4][6] The Austrian government used the uprising to decimate Polish nobles, who were organising an uprising against Austria.[4]
