The German Peasants' War of 1525 ultimately ended in failure.

Luther's Admonition to Peace was written in May 1525 as a response to the Twelve Articles of the Peasants in Swabia. It was a call for reconciliation and urged both the rulers and the peasants to seek peace instead of resorting to violence in the Peasants' War.
