Red Week (Netherlands)
The Red Week () was a period from 9 to 16 November 1918 when a socialist revolution was anticipated in the Netherlands. The anticipation stemmed from revolutions elsewhere in Europe and calls for revolution by some socialists. The most prominent call for revolution came from Pieter Jelles Troelstra, leader of the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP). However, the majority of his party's leadership opposed a revolution and sought to calm their base. Meanwhile, the government took steps to prevent a revolution by strengthening security and implementing social measures. A counter-movement was formed by Catholic and protestant groups. On 13 November, revolutionary socialists led by David Wijnkoop and Henriette Roland Holst organised a demonstration in Amsterdam, which turned violent and resulted in the deaths of four protesters.
