Asturias Uprising of 1934 Remembered as Pivotal Moment

Original: The # AsturiasUprising began on # ThisDayInHistory in 1934, contributing to the unrest that created the # SpanishRevolut

Commentators are marking the anniversary of the Asturias Uprising, which began on this day in 1934, when Spanish miners and workers rose up in Asturias. The revolt contributed to the unrest that culminated in the Spanish Revolution of 1936. Discussion notes that anarchists organised through democratic worker assemblies while socialists relied on union leaders to maintain order, and that Francisco Franco and the army crushed the uprising, killing more than 3,000 people.

Why now: The anniversary of the 1934 Asturias Uprising has prompted reflection on its role in the path to the Spanish Revolution and the Francoist repression.
