Abstract

My diploma research represents a historical overview of the most important revolts in Slovenia with special emphasis on the Tolmin peasant revolt. In 2013 passing by three hundred years of this great revolt, which is one of the most important milestones of our nation because it represents a long-lasting struggle of the peasant population. This diploma includes peasant revolts from the 15th to 18th century. In the beginning of theoretical work I described the life of a farmer in the Middle Ages, reasons for the revolts and the load that weld and feudal people impose them. Diploma briefly presents five most important and biggest peasant revolts. Also Slovenian revolts in 2013 are presented with some available literature and events related to the anniversary. In the practical part, I conducted a survey in order to verify the knowledge of pupils and teachers about their local history. Through interviews, I realized how much they know about their local history. Pupils and teachers know key facts about the important milestone in history that is associated with their home town. The Tolmin peasant revolt still has big influence on town Tolmin, because it had strong affect on their citizen.
