Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The German Peasants' Revolt erupted in German-speaking areas in Central Europe between 1524 to 1525 was an utter failure since the aristocracy vehemently opposed it and Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, suppressed it ruthlessly via his younger brother Ferdinand. In all, about 100,000 poorly armed peasants were slaughtered. This peasant revolt had indeed had the support of Landsknechts, professional soldiers and knights the Swabian League was better equipped with military technology, strategy and experience. The massacres at the battle of Frankenhausen and Battle of Böblingen broke the backbone of peasant revolt.
