A '''general strike''' is a [[strike]] that affects not merely one company, but every company and every field of human [[work]] in a [[country]].
General strikes are an extreme form of [[protest]] intended to induce the [[government]] to enact laws friendly to "[[labor]]" as a political movement. But sometimes a political movement might call a general strike to aid in overthrowing the government or ending what that movement perceives as hostile occupation.
Notable general strikes in history include without limitation:
* A general strike called in the last years of Czarist [[Russia]] at about the time of the [[Russo-Japanese War]]
* A general strike called in [[Algiers]] in the last days of the [[France|French]] occupation of [[Algeria]]
