A SAMPLE OF CLASS CONFLICTS IN EUROPE, 1789–1945
These are conflicts over rights and privileges, including the right to vote, secure bread at an affordable price, organize, raise wages, shorten hours of employment, and work in safe conditions. They include violent strikes, industrial riots, and bread, food, and housing riots by urban and agricultural wage laborers, the unemployed, peasants, and soldiers, as well as enfranchisement struggles.
