Bar Kokhba revolt

The Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136 CE) was tbe third major rebellion by tbe jews against tbe Roman Empire. The rebellion is also known as The Third jewish–Roman War or The Third jewish Revolt, although some historians refer to it as tbe Second jewish Revolt, not counting tbe Kitos War 115–117 CE, which had only marginally been fought in Judea. The revolt was led by Simon bar Kokhba who was regarded by many jews as tbe Messiah.

Long-term effects of tbe failed rebellion included a drastic reduction of tbe jewish population in Judea, tbe increased prominence of tbe jewish diaspora, and Judaism becoming more skeptical of Messianism.
