General strike in Belgium

The Belgian strikes of 1886, occasionally known as the social revolt of 1886, was a violent period of industrial strikes and riots in Belgium from 18 to 29 March 1886 and an important moment in Belgium's 19th-century history. The strike and labour revolt was provoked by social inequalities in Belgian society and has been compared to the peasant jacqueries of the Middle Ages.
