French Socialist Party (1902)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The French Socialist Party (Parti socialiste français) was founded in 1902. It came from the merger of the "possibilist" Federation of the Socialist Workers of France (FTSF), Jean Allemane's Revolutionary Socialist Workers' Party (POSR) and some Socialist elects who was member of any party like Jean Jaurès. This one became the party leader.

Unlike the Socialist Party of France led by Jules Guesde, it supported the principle of the alliance with the non-Socialist left in the Bloc des gauches. Finally, in 1905, under the Second International pressure, the two parties merged in the French Section of the Workers' International.
