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.
A total of 65 delegates from 15 “regional” organizations attended, a third of delegates did not attend. At this congress, a split occurred between the Marxists and the Bakuninists, when the Marx-aligned delegates voted to expel Mikhail Bakunin and move the General Council from London to New York, precipitating the organization's decline.[1]
The Bakunites held a separate congress a week later in Saint-Imier (Switzerland), where they formed the Anti-authoritarian International.
