The Popular Front

The Popular Front was a political coalition primarily in France during the 1930s, uniting leftist groups like communists, socialists, and liberals to counter the rise of fascism and address economic hardships. Its goal was to promote social reforms, workers' rights, and democratic stability by uniting diverse progressive forces. The movement gained popularity by advocating for broader social welfare and resisting authoritarian tendencies, especially amidst the growing threats of Nazism and fascism in Europe. Overall, the Popular Front aimed to strengthen democracy and improve living conditions through collaborative political effort.
