The outbreak of [[World War I]] split anarcho-syndicalists into [[Internationalist–defencist schism|internationalist and defencist camps]]; the former declared themselves against both sides of the war, while the latter supported the [[Allies of World War I|Allies]] against the [[Central Powers]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Damier|1y=2009|1p=42|2a1=Thorpe|2y=1989|2pp=88-90}} The conflict ultimately demonstrated the inability of the international syndicalist movement to prevent war and discredited "neutral syndicalism" in the eyes of many workers, causing revolutionary sentiments to once again begin rising within the workers' movement.{{Sfn|Damier|2009|p=46}} When the [[Revolutions of 1917–1923]] spread throughout Europe, anarcho-syndicalists became keen participants in the revolutionary wave, during which they faced rising political repression.{{Sfnm|1a1=Damier|1y=2009|1pp=46-47|2a1=Thorpe|2y=1989|2pp=106-116}} Anarcho-syndicalists in Europe, Latin America and Asia organised general strikes, sometimes reaching revolutionary proportions, but were ultimately suppressed by nationalist or communist dictatorships.{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=47-63}}
