Revolutionary May 1968

May 1968 in France was a period of civil unrest marked by massive protests and strikes led mainly by students and workers. Triggered by dissatisfaction with societal norms, educational reforms, and economic conditions, it escalated into a broader challenge to authority and capitalism. The movement featured student demonstrations, occupation of universities, and workers' strikes that paralyzed industries. Although it did not lead to a complete revolution, it sparked significant social and political changes, influencing future generations’ perspectives on culture, politics, and labor rights in France and beyond.
