When contrasted with the miners' dramatic strike victories in 1972
and 1974, the shattering industrial defeat suffered by British
miners in 1985 has been seen as evidence of the further weakening
of working-class solidarity. Undertaken with complete unity, the
strikes of 1972 and 1974 brought the miners substantial material
gains, contributed to the downfall of a government, and reinforced
the National Union of Mineworkers' position at the core of the
British labour movement. In contrast, the strike in Britain in
1984/85 was marked by internal division and by the miners' attempt
to resist the pit closure programme of the Thatcher government, and
it ended in bitter defeat.
