First School War

Not to be confused with First Textbook War or French School Wars.
Cover of the satirical magazine La Bombe of October 1878, depicting Catholic disapproval of the new secular schools.

The First School War (French: Première guerre scolaire, Dutch: Eerste schoolstrijd) was a political crisis in Belgium over the issue of religion in education. The School War marks the high water mark of the conflict between the conservative Catholic Party, and the secular Liberal Party. The war lasted from 1879 to 1884 and resulted in a period of nearly fifty years of Catholic political dominance. It was followed by a Second School War between 1950 and 1959.
