WHAT DOES HUNGER MARCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hunger march

Hunger marches

Hunger marches are a form of social protest that arose in the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. Often the marches involved groups of men and women walking from areas with high unemployment, to London where they would protest outside parliament. Sometimes they would march instead to the offices of regional authorities in cities closer to home. Protesters would try to make the point that lack of work meant they were unable to buy sufficient food to prevent themselves and their families suffering hunger. The first such march took place in 1905. The term "hunger march" was coined three years later in 1908. In the first two decades of the 20th century, there was relatively little unemployment in the UK, but it could still become a severe problem in various areas after disruptive changes to the local economy. Hunger marches became much more prominent in the 1920s and 30s during the Great Depression in the United Kingdom. During the worldwide Great depression of the 1930s, hunger marches also began to appear in other countries such as Canada. Many of the UK hunger marches were supported by the British wing of the Communist party.
