The Wall of British Steel refers to a protective barrier created by the British steel industry in the 1980s in response to the influx of cheap steel imports, particularly from countries like Japan. This initiative aimed to safeguard jobs and stabilize the domestic steel market by imposing tariffs and quotas on foreign steel products. It symbolized the broader struggles of traditional industries in the UK during a period of economic transition and globalization. The wall ultimately highlighted the challenges of maintaining competitiveness in a changing global economy.
