The IWW was founded in 1905 by a congress of socialists, anarchists and communists in order to create an international union for all workers in order to create a non-capitalist society. It led several major strikes in the 1900s, 1910s and the 1920s, before a major split ruptured the group. Although the group led more strikes, it slowly declined in influence until only having a few hundred members and was nearing extinction. It regained influence in the 1960s, and has been slowly growing since, with a large wave boost of support in 2010s.

The IWW was founded in 1905 by a congress of socialists, anarchists and communists in order to create an international union for all workers in order to create a non-capitalist society. It led several major strikes in the 1900s, 1910s and the 1920s, before a major split ruptured the group. Although the group led more strikes, it slowly declined in influence until only having a few hundred members and was nearing extinction. It regained influence in the 1960s, and has been slowly growing since, with a large wave boost of support in 2010s.
