Name a famous Welsh Hunger March.

• A. Cambria March
• B. Rhondda March
• C. Port Talbot March
• D. Conwy March

Answer: (B)

Hunger marches were mass demonstrations by unemployed workers in the interwar years, organized to press the government for relief and work. In Wales, the most famous example is the march from the Rhondda valley to London in the late 1920s. Unemployed miners and their families walked to the capital, drawing national attention to the severity of poverty in Welsh coalfield communities and linking Welsh labour struggles with the broader UK hunger‑march movement. Its prominence in histories of Wales’ protest movements makes it the standout Welsh hunger march. The other suggested marches aren’t as well known in this context, so the Rhondda march is the one that’s most commonly remembered.
