Workers' International League (1937)

The Workers' International League (WIL), founded in 1937, was a short-lived Trotskyist organization active primarily in the United States. It emerged from internal divisions within the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), a larger Trotskyist group. The WIL's formation was marked by significant disagreements over strategy and tactics within the broader Trotskyist movement in the US, particularly regarding the approach to the Popular Front and the evolving political landscape during the period leading up to World War II.

While the WIL attracted a number of dedicated members, it remained a relatively small organization compared to the SWP. Its influence on the broader political scene was limited. Key figures within the WIL included individuals who had previously been prominent members of the SWP, contributing to the internal debates that ultimately led to the WIL's creation. However, detailed information on the specific ideological differences that led to the split and the internal organization of the WIL remains somewhat scarce in readily available historical accounts. Further research is needed to fully document its activities, internal debates, and ultimate demise. Its impact and legacy within the larger context of American Trotskyism and the broader labor movement require more thorough historical analysis. The exact date of its dissolution is also not definitively established in currently available sources.
