The New High Tide of National Liberation Movements and the Antifascist Struggle of the Peoples of the Capitalist Nations During the 1930s

Abstract

During the 1929-1933 economic crisis of the capitalist world, the monopoly bourgeoisie of the imperialist nations, in addition to further increasing their exploitation of the working people domestically, also vigorously introduced the crisis to the colonial and semicolonial nations. They depressed the prices of raw materials and engaged in an added dumping of "surplus" products, further aggravating the poverty and suffering of the people of these regions induced by foreign plunder. The contradictions between the oppressed nations and imperialism intensified, and the national liberation movements reached a new high tide.
