  • The Austrian General Strikes of 1950 were masterminded by the Communist Party of Austria with half-hearted support of the Soviet occupation authorities. In August–October 1950 Austria faced a severe social and economic crisis caused by anticipated withdrawal of American financial aid and a sharp drop in real wages. Negotiations between the government and the trade unions stalled, and on September 26 the Communists launched the first general strike. A total of 120 thousand industrial workers walked out of factories, disrupted railroad traffic and harassed government officers. Austrian government, the Socialists and trade unions defused the situation and on September 27 the Communists backed off. The second strike of October 4–5, limited to Vienna and Soviet-occupied Lower Austria, also ended in a humiliating defeat. The Soviet support to Austrian Communists was limited to the disruption of police action and provision of trucks for moving communist agents. The British and American occupation forces provided only moral support to the Austrian government. All former allies left use of force. No one was killed but dozens of police officers and civilians were injured in street fights. The strikes of 1950 are routinely called a putsch but actual goals of the Communists remain unknown. According to contemporary American press, the August strikes were "the most widespread and potentially dangerous since the end of World War II". Historians agreed: "the developing strike was the most dangerous since the end of the war" (Bader), "few Cold War confrontations in Austria were more potentially explosive than the Communist-inspired strikes of September and October 1950" (Williams).

Negosiasi antara pemerintah dan serikat buruh terhenti, dan pada tanggal 26 September Komunis melancarkan pertama. Sebanyak 120 ribu pekerja industri keluar dari pabrik, mengganggu lalu lintas kereta api, dan melecehkan pejabat pemerintah. Pemerintah Austria, Sosialis dan serikat pekerja meredakan situasi dan pada 27 September Komunis mundur. Pemogokan kedua pada tanggal 4-5 Oktober, terbatas di Wina dan Austria Hilir yang diduduki Soviet, juga berakhir dengan kekalahan yang memalukan. Dukungan Soviet untuk Komunis Austria terbatas pada gangguan tindakan polisi dan penyediaan truk untuk memindahkan agen komunis. Pasukan pendudukan Inggris dan Amerika hanya memberikan dukungan moral kepada pemerintah Austria. Semua mantan sekutu menghindari penggunaan kekuatan. Tidak ada yang tewas tetapi puluhan petugas polisi dan warga sipil terluka dalam perkelahian jalanan. * l * * s (in)
