This book analyzes how the Second International reacted to
international diplomatic crises and what was the attitude of
French, German and Italian socialists between 1889 and 1915, the
year in which Italy entered the World War. This book shows that the
Second International became over the years more and more involved
in the fight against war and learnt to respond to situations of
diplomatic crisis. An example of this is the fact that its last
congress before the outbreak of the First World War, the Basel
Congress of 1912, was nothing less than a great international
socialist demonstration of opposition to war. However, the fact
that France, Germany or Italy were involved in a diplomatic crisis
hindered the International's ability to respond effectively to it.
For all these factors, the attitude of the International is very
different from one crisis to another.
This book is an anthology of the writings of Jean Jaures, a central
figure of French socialism in the period leading up to World War I,
who was born in 1859 and died in 1914, a few days before the
outbreak of the conflict. Jaures is one of the most celebrated
politicians in France. His writings in this anthology touch on the
subjects dear to him, which are then some of the great political
themes of his time. In this book are writings on war and pacifism,
on colonialism and anti-colonialism, and on the central themes of
socialism of the time, such as reformism and revolution. Despite
Jaures's notoriety in France, he is not well known abroad. This
book, a corpus of his emblematic writings, aims, to make Jaures
known to those who do not know him outside of France.
