 | | By declaring themselves the Fourth International, the "World Party of Socialist Revolution", the Trotskyists were publicly asserting their continuity not only with the Comintern but also with the earlier Socialist International and the International Workingmen's Association, the first International, which had been led by Karl Marx. |
 | | The Fourth International was hit hard during World War II, with Trotsky assasinated and many of its European affiliates destroyed by the Nazis and several of its Asian affiliates destroyed by the Empire of Japan. |
 | | The resulting international organization, linked closely with the International Liaison Committee for a Workers' International, is known among its adherents and national sections simply as the Fourth International, while some other Trotskyists persistently refer to it as the "Lambertist" Fourth International, after Pierre Lambert, a founding leader of the French PT. |
