UNIONS AND STRIKES REPLACE REVOLT
In France, the terrible repression of La Commune brought
the end of insurrections and the start of a struggle between

It brought:
- The Popular Front of 1936-1939.
- The Vichy regime, the only collaborationist government to be legally elected in Europe.
- The largely left-wing Resistance.
- Because right-wing leaders were in hiding, in prison or shot, the generous social safety net that largely remains.
