Identify the Comintern and why it was formed?

The Comintern, or Communist International, was an organization founded in 1919 by the Bolsheviks in Russia to promote worldwide communist revolution. Its main goal was to encourage and support the establishment of communist parties across different countries, aiming to unite global revolutionary efforts against capitalism and Imperialism. The Comintern sought to coordinate the activities of these parties and facilitate the exchange of ideas and strategies among them. It played a significant role in shaping international communist movements until its dissolution in 1943.
