The Second International

The first attempt by revolutionary socialists to ach ve the dream of international worker solidarity broke down due to ideological and personality conflicts between marchists and anarchists in the mid 18 seventies. In the mid 18 eighties, a new generation of socialist leaders concluded that the work they doing in their own respective home lands ultimately necessitated international coordination and co operation. Delegates representing 20 different nations came together in paris on july fourteenth, 18 89, the hundredth anniversary of the fall of the bastille. Over the next 25 years, the number of nationalities represented in the second international grew to include delegates from literally all over the world.
