So I've gotten an idea for a story in which a Left Wing Uprising occurs in the UK in 1919 and whilst I've doing research for it I've been wondering how one could realistically start.
1919 was a hard period for Britian having just come out the war and there were a number of mutinys, strikes and riots across Britain during that period with some more prominent ones being the "Battle" of St George Square in Glasgow, The Luton Peace Day Riots and a Police Strike in June.
Could these incidents possibly have sparked a left wing uprising of some kind with violence breaking out across Britian? I believe if incidents like "Battle" of St George Square had gotten out of hand then there could have been an uprising in Glasgow.
I could see it occurring if a strike got out of hand (troops fire into the crowd etc.) and the Government response probably lead by Churchill got so bloody that the people as a whole decided to take over, per say if Black and Tan style tactics were used against Left Wing Organisations in Britian, if the Government decided to get rid "enemies" via firing squad etc.
I could see the Labour Party being split on how to deal with the situation, some would support the uprisings others wouldn't, I could see the Government trying to ban the Labour Party if things get out of hand which could backfire on them.
Also I wonder how these moments would effect both the Paris Peace Agreements (if the British delegation can't go due to fighting in the streets back home) and Ireland?
Also I can seeing what remains of the British Government and the Royal Family fleeing to India as the revolutionaries take over. I could imagine a Republic being made with a strong left wing bent (since most of the leaders of any British Left Wing Uprising would be in favour of a Democracy).
