Great Unrest
The Great Unrest, also known as the Great Labour Unrest, was a period of labour revolt between 1911 and 1914 in the United Kingdom. The agitation included the 1911 Liverpool general transport strike and the 1913 Dublin lockout. It was the region's most significant labour unrest since the mid-1800s Chartist movement but is not commemorated at the magnitude of the 1926 general strike or 1984 miners' strike. The period of unrest was labelled "great" not because of its scale, but due to the level of violence employed by both the state and laborers; including deaths of strikers at the hands of police and sabotage on the part of the workers.
