Popular Front

The Popular Front refers to a political alliance formed in the 1930s, primarily in Europe and Latin America, which united various leftist groups, like socialists and communists, against fascism and authoritarianism. This coalition aimed to promote social reforms, improve workers' rights, and defend democratic values. The most notable Popular Front was in France, where it successfully won elections in 1936, leading to significant social changes. However, the alliance was often fragile, as different groups had varying ideologies and goals, and it faced challenges from right-wing movements and economic crises of the time.
