1934 French general strike

The 1934 French general strike was a significant labor movement where workers across various industries protested against poor working conditions, low wages, and rising unemployment. Sparked by widespread discontent with the government and economic instability, it involved millions of workers who halted production to demand better rights and reforms. The strike aimed to unite different labor unions and political groups, showcasing the growing influence of the left in France. Although it didn't achieve all its goals, it highlighted the urgency of workers' issues and contributed to the subsequent rise of the Popular Front government in 1936.
