The slogan 'Enragez-vous!' ('Get angry!') served as a visceral rallying cry during the May 1968 uprisings in France, encapsulating the transition from passive discontent to active, militant resistance.

By urging the masses to embrace their indignation, the slogan helped transform localized student grievances into a nationwide General Strike that paralyzed the De Gaulle administration. Show more
