The term "Popular Front" refers to a political coalition that typically unites various leftist groups, including socialists, communists, and liberals, to achieve common goals, especially in opposition to fascism or authoritarianism. These coalitions emerged prominently in the 1930s, particularly in Europe, as a response to the rise of extremist movements. One of the most notable examples of a Popular Front was in France during the 1930s, which brought together different leftist parties to form a government. This coalition aimed to implement social reforms and protect democratic values against the growing threat of Nazi Germany and other fascist regimes.
