Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to analyze the causes and development of the Peasant Uprising of 1888 in the Urziceni area. It consists of three parts, and in the first one we will make an X-ray of the situation of the Romanian peasants starting with 1864, when Cuza's agrarian reform took place. In the second part, the immediate causes that led to the outbreak of the uprising will be analyzed, the emphasis being on the opinion of contemporaries on this. In the last part of the paper, the evolution of the revolt in Urziceni and in the surrounding villages will be presented and analyzed.
