Summary

When the Second International gathered for an Extraordinary Congress in Basel on 24–25 November 1912, right in the middle of the Balkan wars, the congress became a massive anti-war rally where the leading social democratic parties1 once again underlined their commitment to struggling for peace under all circumstances. But, as is well known, in the early days of August 1914 they behaved differently and declared support for their respective fatherlands and therefore the war.
