Question

Why were there so many strikes directly after the end of World War I?

Answer 1

They were fuelled by the enthusiasm triggered by the Bolshevik Revolution

Explanation:

During the 19th century, Socialism bloomed as a contestation to the consequences of the Industrial Revolution(the latter widened the gap between rich and poor).

The Russian Revolution in 1917 is the first wolrd experience that saw the initiation of a socialist regime(under the communist ieology) in a major nation-Russia.

Labor Unions all throughout Europe regarded it as an opportunity to bring a similar change in their own nations.
