Commune movement

The Commune movement was a series of revolutionary efforts in France, primarily in Paris, during the 19th century. The most notable was the Paris Commune of 1871, where workers and citizens briefly took control of the city to challenge government authority, advocating for social reforms, workers' rights, and greater political participation. It aimed to create a society based on democracy, equality, and communal ownership. Though it lasted only a few months and was violently suppressed, the Commune became a symbol of radical social change and inspired future movements advocating for worker rights and social justice.
