July 1889 CE

The International Workers Congresses of Paris opens on July 14, 1889, and establishes the Second International.

Delegations from twenty countries participated.

The International continues the work of the dissolved First International, though excluding the powerful anarcho-syndicalist movement and unions.

The Second International's first famous action is its 1889 declaration of May 1 (May Day) as International Workers' Day.
