The 6 February 1934 riot — The leagues’ riot on the Place de la Concorde
One evening, the leagues marched on the Palais-Bourbon; the forces of order fired on the Place de la Concorde, on the very day of Daladier’s investiture — and the left, seeing a fascist coup, forged the unity that led to the Popular Front. (Editorial synthesis)
The 6 February 1934 riot ended in sixteen dead, Daladier’s resignation — and the surge that led to the Popular Front. (source: Encyclopædia Universalis)

Answers are drawn from a corpus established and verified by an editorial team; each one shows its source.
When a piece of information is not in that collection, the encyclopedia says so rather than inventing it — that principle is what makes every answer it does give trustworthy.
