== =Inflation Leads to Strikes:=

Because of the inflation after the war, workers wanted higher wages to keep up with the inflation but the companies said no because they too had to deal with costs rising to keep in business. While the war was going on, many of the workers in unions were increasing number by number. But by the the war had ended, workers were capable of easily coming together and striking against their employer. Circumstances led to a giant wave of strikes in the year 1919, and by the end of that year more than 3,600 strikes involving over 4 million workers. One of these strikes was The Seattle General Strike.
