You should create your own, but I'll amke mine as an example.
November 5th, 1883
Once again, today was not easy at all. I just turned 13 a few days ago, but I haven't had a moment to celebrate, working from morning to night. I have a few minutes to write in this diary and then I must sleep if I want to work properly the next day. I work in a factory with big machines, so it's easy to get hurt badly. Today and girl got some of her hair ripped off, and the other day a boy almost lost his full finger. These things happen often and I'm lucky I do't get the bigger and harder jobs and that I'm not 8 or 9 like some workers. It isn't as bad as I make it out to be. I do work from dawn to after dusk, but I come from a family that isn't dirt poor and I do get enough food to get by. Sadly, must say goodbye and sleep if I want to function correctly tomorrow.
Goodbye,
Sarah (fake name)
I believe it was because of weak or little allies or military power.
The correct answer is Britain
Answer:
Peasants’ Revolt, also called Wat Tyler’s Rebellion, (1381), first great popular rebellion in English history. Its immediate cause was the imposition of the unpopular poll tax of 1380, which brought to a head the economic discontent that had been growing since the middle of the century. The rebellion drew support from several sources and included well-to-do artisans and villeins as well as the destitute. Probably the main grievance of the agricultural labourers and urban working classes was the Statute of Labourers (1351), which attempted to fix maximum wages during the labour shortage following the Black Death.
The uprising was centred in the southeastern counties and East Anglia, with minor disturbances in other areas. It began in Essex in May 1381, taking the government of the young king Richard II by surprise. In June rebels from Essex and Kent marched toward London. On the 13th the Kentish men, under Wat Tyler, entered London, where they massacred some Flemish merchants and razed the palace of the king’s uncle, the unpopular John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. The government was compelled to negotiate. On the 14th Richard met the men of Essex outside London at Mile End, where he promised cheap land, free trade, and the abolition of serfdom and forced labour. During the king’s absence, the Kentish rebels in the city forced the surrender of the Tower of London; the chancellor, Archbishop Simon of Sudbury, and the treasurer, Sir Robert Hales, both of whom were held responsible for the poll tax, were beheaded.
