Onion War
1513–1515 peasant revolt in Lucerne, Switzerland
The Onion War was a peasant revolt that affected the territory of Lucerne in 1513, with further unrest continuing until 1515. Contemporary with the Köniz uprising in Bern and similar rebellions in Solothurn and Zürich, it was caused by the discontent of the rural subjects with the authorities' mercenary recruitment and pension policy.
