• Battle of Ypres - British Artillery Offensive On August 10, 1917, during World War I, British forces resumed their offensive near Ypres, strategically targeting German artillery positions around Gheluvelt. Despite concentrated efforts, the attack yielded minimal territorial gains, with German defenders successfully maintaining their defensive lines.

The strike, which challenged existing political and economic structures, was brutally suppressed by government forces. After just three days of widespread worker demonstrations, the authorities violently crushed the movement, resulting in 70 fatalities, hundreds of injuries, and approximately 2,000 arrests. This event highlighted the intense class conflicts and political repression characteristic of early 20th-century Spain.
