The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.
Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the "Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste" as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

Which is awesome because he literally wasn't, Ukraine was never a country of any kind prior to the formation of the Ukrainian ssr, which is exactly why the Galacian fascists wanted to murder every non-galacian Ukrainian - their 'ethnostate' dreams were hampered by the lack of a clearly defined Ukrainian ethnicity which is part of why they were so excited to exterminate poles, jews, and anyone else they deemed insufficiently Ukrainian.
