The Battle of George Square was a violent confrontation in Glasgow, Scotland between Glasgow City Police and striking Glasgow workers, centred around George Square. The 'battle', also known as "Bloody Friday" or "Black Friday", took place on Friday 31 January 1919, 82 days after the end of the First World War. During the riot, the Sheriff of Lanarkshire called for military aid, and British troops, supported by six tanks, were moved to key points in Glasgow. The strike leaders were arrested for inciting the riot. Although it is often stated that there were no fatalities, one police constable died several months later from injuries received during the rioting.

  • Kravallerna vid George Square, även känt som Bloody Friday och Black Friday, kallas de oroligheter som ägde rum på Glasgows gator den 31 januari 1919. Konflikten ägde rum i samband med en kampanj för kortare arbetsdagar, vilket bland annat innefattade strejker. Konfrontationer mellan arbetare och poliser uppstod, vilket fick den brittiska regeringen att skicka soldater till staden för att förhindra ytterligare folksamlingar. Man var från brittiskt håll rädd för en arbetarrevolution; menade att det fanns en risk för ett "bolsjevikiskt uppror", åsyftandes den ryska revolutionen 1917 och den som vid tidpunkten utspelade sig i Tyskland.

  • “乔治广场之战”(英語:Battle of George Square)是英国苏格兰格拉斯哥市警察与克莱德河工业区的工人在乔治广场附近发生的一场暴力冲突,发生于第一次世界大战结束82天后的1919年1月31日星期五,故又称“流血星期五”或“黑色星期五”。事发当天,数万名工人在乔治广场举行大规模罢工,要求缩短每周工作时间,并与警察爆发冲突,造成多人受伤。格拉斯哥市政府宣读《》,驱散人群,逮捕罢工领袖。随后数天,英国政府出动坦克和装备机枪的军队占领了格拉斯哥市,罢工最终被政府镇压。 (zh)
