Years: 1871 - 1871
May

Adolphe Theirs’s conservative national government ruthlessly suppresses the marginally socialist Commune of Paris, alienating much of the French working class from the republic and from parliamentary government.

Paris falls on May 28, leaving more than thirty-three thousand dead and parts of the city in ruins.

The French labor movement, as a result, turns towards revolutionary syndicalism (from syndicat, French for trade union).
