The Battle of Sendling--or the Sendling Christmas Day Massacre--saw Austrian troops acting under the orders of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I attack farmers who had been staging an uprising in the Bavarian countryside. A decisive victory for the Empire, the uprising was easily quelled, though those lost were seen as victims of the first revolution in modern history.
