| The rise of the Greens as a political force was sustained by the unprecedented increase in concern for the environment. |
| Indeed, if there is a common antecedent to Green parties, it is not so much the broad environmental movement, which traces its origins to the conservation and urban-hygiene movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but the anti-nuclear movements and campaigns of the 1970s. |
| Green parties faltered from the outset in two of the most environmentally aware and electorally open European countries— Denmark and the Netherlands—principally because other “new left” parties had preceded them there and, having established constituencies, had left little room for newcomers. |
