Economic depression in Europe in the 1870s gave way to the rise of two important movements: Socialism and Anarchism. On the 13th of November 1887, the tension caused by, socialism particularly, peaked in an event which became known as 'Bloody Sunday'. So here's a little video on a relatively short topic in the Whitechapel, 1888, Jack the Ripper murders, case study, from the 'Crime and Punishment through Time' unit from Edexcel GCSE history.
Revision Notes:
- Social and economic problems (depression) across Europe lead to many revolutionary movements
- There was much tension around anarchism
- Many bombings and outrages committed or supposedly committed by anarchists were exaggerated
Bloody Sunday:
- Took place in London on 13 November 1887
- A socialist march against unemployment and coercion in Ireland, demanding the release of MP William O’Brien, was attacked by the Metropolitan Police and the British army
- The demonstration was organised by the SDF (Social Democratic Federation) and the Irish National league
- [Omitted word*] clashes took place between the police and demonstrators, many "armed with iron bars, knives, pokers and gas pipes"
- A contemporary report noted that 400 were arrested and 75 persons were badly injured, including many police, two policemen being stabbed and one protester bayonetted.
This video is a revision resource for the 'Crime and Punishment Through Time' module of the new Pearson Edexcel 2016 History GCSE (9-1), though may be compatible with other specs from different exam boards.
