Revolutionary Union

The Revolutionary Union (or "Union révolutionnaire" in French) was an Alban political movement founded in 1912 by Laurent St. Etienne after the collapse of the Independent Labour Union over whether or not the movement should support revolutionary interventionism. It became a pro-war movement in 1914 that aimed to promote Alba's entry into World War I.

The movement achieved its primary goal in early 1917 when Alba declared war on Germany, and most of the movement's members enlisted. In October 1918, almost all of them met in Alexander II Square for the foundation of the New Social Union, which preceded the Social Alliance of Mobius in the 1920s.

History
The Revolutionary Union was founded on 12 April 1912 and held its first meeting on 8 October 1914. The First World War had begun in July 1914, but Alba remained neutral, and public opinion as well as the political majority in the Palace of Aldermen supported continued neutrality and non-involvement in the war. In this context, the Revolutionary Union became an umbrella organization for pro-war activists led by Laurent St. Etienne, who were called interventionists because they wished for Alba to intervene in the war.
