📖Explanation: In 1953, a major popular uprising took place in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Workers and citizens protested against poor working conditions, political repression and the coercive measures of the government. This uprising was brutally suppressed, but remained an important symbol of resistance against the communist regime.
