Asturias Uprising of 1934 remembered as milestone of Spanish labor struggle
Original: The # AsturiasUprising began on # ThisDayInHistory in 1934, contributing to the unrest that created the # SpanishRevolut
On this day in 1934, the Asturias Uprising began in northern Spain, when miners and workers rose up and briefly controlled the mining basin before being crushed. The revolt is remembered as a precursor to the unrest that produced the Spanish Revolution of 1936. Commenters note anarchists organized through democratic worker assemblies, socialists through union structures, and that Francisco Franco's army killed more than 3,000 people in the repression.
Why now: The anniversary of the 1934 uprising is prompting reflection on its role in the events leading to the Spanish Revolution and Franco's repression.
