World War I was ended by a wave of revolutions that swept the continent first in Ireland in 1916, then Russia in 1917 and finally in Germany in 1918. In cities across the continent, including Glasgow, there were riots and strikes against the war.
At the front soldiers rebelled. By 1917, half of the French army were routinely refusing to follow orders.
But official remembrance by the state and politicians obscures this history of revolutions.
