Date Issued:

Summary:
An examination of the attitudes of the French and German Socialists toward war and peace between 1870 and 1914 provides an understanding of the dilemma faced by Socialists in August, 1914. Discussed is Marx's position on the Franco- Prussian War, doctrinal and theoretical contradictions, and different anti-war strategies put forward by the French and German Socialist Parties. Rather than a simplistic response to innate patriotic sentiment, wide-spread Socialist support of the war-effort in 1914 emerged from revised (and more pacifist) Socialist interpretations of capitalism, shifting moods in the workers' anti-war movement, and changing economic conditions upon these moods and working class behavior.
