Creation of the First International Labour Force in London, with the aim of organizing world workers

The First International Labour Force was established in London with the aim of organizing the workers of the world. It was the first attempt, but the tensions between the different currents of the interior of the movement, especially between Marx and Bakunin, provoked the dissolution. Among communists and anarchists, the main topic of discussion was the transition from capitalism to socialism, and in 1872 the followers of Bakunin were expelled and in 1876 it was dissolved. The Second International was founded in 1889.
