Hague Congress (1872)

The Hague Congress was the fifth congress of the International Workingmen's Association (IWA), held from 2–7 September 1872 in The Hague, the Netherlands.

The motions at the Hague Congress precipitated the organization's decline. With a third of the International's delegates not attending, the Marx-aligned delegates voted to expel Mikhail Bakunin and move the General Council from London to New York.
