A short-lived Kraków Uprising, organized by numerous members of the Polish nobility, was countered by the Austrian-encouraged Galician peasant revolt.
The Kraków Uprising was a recent, short-lived movement whose organizers included numerous members of the Polish nobility. The Austrian government initially encouraged the Galician peasant uprising as a counter to it, and historians generally accept that the Austrian authorities deliberately exploited peasant dissatisfaction in order to suppress this noble, proto-national uprising.
