Communist International

International communist organization (1919–1943)

The Communist International (abbreviated as Comintern), also known as the Third International, was a Marxist political international that advocated world communism and existed from 1919 to 1943. Emerging from the collapse of the Second International during World War I, it was founded at a congress in Moscow convened by Vladimir Lenin and the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) (RCP), which aimed to create a new international body committed to revolutionary socialism and the overthrow of capitalism worldwide. Initially, the Comintern operated with the expectation of imminent proletarian revolutions in post-war Europe, particularly in the former German Empire, which were seen as crucial for the survival and success of the Russian Revolution.
