Workers' Uprising in Lyon 183 1 and 1834, French workers held two armed uprisings in Lyon to oppose the exploitation and oppression of capitalists. It promoted the development of the French workers' movement. It is one of the important signs that the French proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage as an independent political force. Together with the Silesia Weaver Uprising in Germany and the British Constitutional Movement, it is called1the three major workers' movements in the 9th century.

183 1 At the beginning of the year, workers in Lyon set off a movement mainly demanding higher wages, and workers held rallies and demonstrations many times. During the period of 10, a minimum wage agreement was negotiated with commercial employers. But later, with the support of the Minister of Commerce of the July Dynasty, the merchant employers tore up the agreement. 183 1 year1month 2 1 workers held a protest demonstration, which clashed with the military and police and turned into a spontaneous armed uprising. The rebel army put forward the slogan of "not living by labor, but fighting to the death". After three days of fighting, workers once occupied the city of Lyon. The uprising was quickly suppressed by the troops transferred by the July dynasty government.

1on April 9, 834, the silk workers' uprising broke out again in Lyon. The direct cause of the uprising was that the government arrested and tried the strike leaders and issued a decree prohibiting workers from organizing assemblies. This uprising has a more distinct political nature, which not only requires economic development, but also puts forward the slogan of abolishing the imperial system and establishing a political system. The insurgents wrote on the banner: "The cause we are fighting for is the cause of all mankind." Members of workers' organizations, mutual aid societies, petty-bourgeois democratic organizations, human rights societies and progressive societies formed a general committee to lead the struggle. The rebels fought fiercely with the government forces in the suburbs and downtown Lyon for six days, and were finally suppressed by the government forces because of the disparity in strength. The uprising aroused strong repercussions in Paris and many places in France, which promoted the development of the French workers' movement.
