For sites and articles about the period of radical unrest - from 1910 through to the early 30's - in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, during which there was prolonged and repeated industrial unrest and community protest, culminating in the Battle of George Square (1919).

The London Government was so worried about the dangers of revolutionary ferment, that 10,000 English soldiers were sent to the city to establish order.

The area was the centre of working class struggle in Britain, and had a powerful influence on the development of working class politics nationally.
