Battle of George Square

The Battle of George Square, which occurred on January 31, 1919, in Glasgow, Scotland, was a pivotal moment in the history of the labour movement. Thousands of striking workers clashed with police forces as they demanded better working conditions, higher wages, and the right to form unions. The confrontation turned violent, leading to injuries and arrests on both sides. This event highlighted the struggle for workers' rights and played a significant role in shaping labor policies in the United Kingdom, ultimately contributing to the recognition of workers' rights and the growth of the labor movement.
