"Red Clydeside" refers to a period of intense political activism and labor unrest in the Clydeside area of Scotland, particularly in the city of Glasgow, during the early 20th century, especially from 1915 to 1925. This era was marked by a strong socialist movement, driven by the working class's demands for better wages, working conditions, and social reforms, influenced by the aftermath of World War I and the rise of communism. The term "Red" signifies the socialist and communist ideologies that were prominent among the workers and trade unions. Key events during this time included the Clydeside riots and the 1919 Glasgow General Strike, which highlighted the growing discontent among workers. The movement played a significant role in shaping labor rights and political discourse in Scotland and the broader United Kingdom.
