About Communist Party of Great Britain

The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was the largest Marxist-Leninist organisation in Britain and was founded in 1920 through a merger of several smaller Marxist groups. The party first gained prominence when many miners joined the CPGB in the 1926 general strike. In 1930, the CPGB founded the Daily Worker newspaper, which would remain the party's main publication throughout its existence. In 1936, members of the party were present at the Battle of Cable Street, helping organise resistance against the British Union of Fascists. In the Spanish Civil War, the CPGB worked with the USSR to create the British Battalion of the International Brigades, which party activist Bill Alexander commanded.
