Cevap

The 19701970 s in Britain was a period of high inflation and frequent industrial strikes, including the 'Winter of Discontent'.
The correct answer is correct because the 19701970 s were marked by 'stagflation' (high inflation and low economic growth) and frequent industrial disputes between the government and trade unions, reaching a peak during the 'Winter of Discontent' in 19781978-19791979.

The 19701970 s are famous for the 'three-day week' and the 'Winter of Discontent' (19781978-19791979).
