Winnipeg General Strike

Japanese: ウィニペグ・ストライキ(英語表記)Winnipeg General Strike
Winnipeg General Strike
A strike that took place in Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, Canada, from May 15 to June 26, 1919. It began as a protest against the need to improve working conditions for construction and metalworkers, but developed into a general strike that affected the entire city. In addition to general factors such as the rise in unemployment among demobilized soldiers after the end of World War I and the rise of the labor union movement stimulated by the success of the Russian Revolution, there were also circumstances specific to the city of Winnipeg. Namely, Winnipeg was one of the centers of the reform movement in Canada after World War I, and saw a large influx of European immigrants with radical ideas, but at the same time, it had a long history of development among western cities, and the conservative middle class also had considerable power.

Japanese:
1919年5月15日から6月26日にかけて,カナダのマニトバ州の州都ウィニペグで行われたストライキ。発端は建築工,金属工の待遇改善であったが,全市を巻き込むゼネストに発展した背景には,第1次大戦終了に伴って増加した復員軍人の失業,ロシア革命の成功に刺激された労働組合運動の高揚といった一般的要因のほかに,ウィニペグ市特有の事情も存在した。すなわち,ここは第1次大戦後のカナダの改革運動の一つの中心地であり,先鋭的な思想をもつヨーロッパ移民の流入が多かったが,一方では西部諸都市の中では開発の歴史が古く,保守的な中産階級も十分な力をもっていたことをあげることができる。
