This essay attempts to place Canadian workers' 1919 militancy in a national and international context. Utilizing freshly compiled strike data and focusing on events outside of Winnipeg, the paper argues that the 1919 revolt was nation-wide and part of the international post-war revolutionary upsurge. The new prominence of women and immigrant workers, reflecting the drive for industrial unionism, is emphasized. Resume Cet article tente de situer le militantisme des travailleurs canadiens en 1919 dans le contexte national et international. Grâce a des statistiques compilees recemment sur le niveau de greve et en tenant compte d'evenements survenus a l'exterieur de Winnipeg, l'auteur soutient que la revolte de 1919 a touche tout le Canada et fait partie d'une poussee revolutionnaire internationale d'apres-guerre. L'article s'attarde aussi au role de premier plan qu'ont joue les femmes et les travailleurs immigrants, ce qui s'inscrit dans un mouvement vers le syndicalisme industriel
