is a series of free encyclopaedias. We currently specialize in history
but we intend to branch out into other areas. This section is about
Jules Guesde.
Jules
Guesde was born in Paris, France, on 12th
November, 1845. A journalist, he developed radical political views and
in 1877 founded the socialist weekly journal,
L'Egalité.
In
1880 Guesde joined Paul Lafargue, the son-in-law of Karl
Marx, to establish the Workers Party and in 1893 he was elected
to the Chamber of Deputies. The party suffered from internal divisions
and by 1895 had split into five different parties.
In
1900 a group of socialists formed the revolutionary Socialist Party
of France, led by Guesde and Edouard Vaillant,.
This party failed to make much progress and in 1905 it merged with the
French Socialist Party under the leadership
of Jean Jaurés.
Jules
Guesde, who served as minister of portfolio during the First
World War, died in Saint-Mande on 28th July, 1922.
