popular frontPolitical alliance of liberals, socialists, communists, and other centre and left-wing parties. This policy was propounded by the Communist International in 1935 against fascism and was adopted in France and Spain, where popular-front governments were elected in 1936; that in France was overthrown in 1938 and the one in Spain fell with the defeat of the Republic in the Spanish Civil War in 1939. In Britain a popular-front policy was advocated by Sir Stafford Cripps and others, but rejected by the Labour Party. The resistance movements in the occupied countries during World War II represented a revival of the popular-front idea, and in post-war politics the term tends to recur whenever a strong right-wing party can be counterbalanced only by an alliance of those on the left.
