The three major workers' movements in Europe are the two silk workers' uprisings in Lyon, France, the * * * movement in Britain and the textile workers' uprising in Silesia, Germany. In 1930s and 1940s, the proletariat in France, Britain, Germany and other countries launched independent political movements, which were mainly manifested in three famous workers' movements. The new characteristics of the three major workers' movements show that the proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage as an independent political force. The rich experience of workers' struggle provides valuable materials for Marx and Engels to carry out theoretical research, and also makes the emergence of Marxism possible; The failure of the three major workers' movements puts forward the urgent requirement of establishing scientific revolutionary theory from the opposite side.

lyon,worker's uprisings in

183 1 and 1834, workers in Lyon, France held two armed uprisings against capitalist exploitation and oppression. Lyon is the center of French silk industry. Under the cruel exploitation of factory owners and businessmen's employers, silk weavers and craftsmen live in extreme poverty. 183 1 At the beginning of the year, workers in Lyon set off a movement mainly demanding higher wages. Workers have held * * *, * * * and * * * meetings 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 day, there was a * * * * conflict between workers and military police, which turned into a spontaneous armed uprising. The rebel army put forward the slogan, "Don't live by labor, fight 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.

1on April 9, 834, the silk workers' uprising broke out again in Lyon. The direct cause of the uprising was the arrest and trial of the leaders of the * * * and the promulgation of a decree prohibiting workers from forming associations. This uprising has a more distinct political nature. It not only put forward economic demands, but also put 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." Workers' organizations, mutual aid societies, petty-bourgeois democratic organizations, human rights societies and progressive societies formed a general committee to lead the struggle. The insurgents fought fiercely with the * * * army in the suburbs and cities of Lyon for six days, and were finally suppressed by the * * * army 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. The two worker uprisings in Lyon are one of the important signs that the French proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage as an independent political force.

The significance of the three major workers' movements

It marks that the modern proletariat, as an independent political force, stepped onto the historical stage and began to show its great historical role. In the three major labor movements, the proletariat put forward its own independent political and economic demands, which impacted the capitalist system and entered a new stage in its struggle against the bourgeoisie.

Lessons from the three major workers' movements

Although these three large-scale workers' movements were suppressed, they all had a profound lesson: without the guidance of revolutionary theory, the proletariat could not win the revolution. Therefore, the establishment of revolutionary theory based on science has become an urgent need of the times.
