With the beginning of the Great Depression in 1930 and new directives from the TCI, the Workers' Communist Party assumed its final name, and once more began to coordinate insurrectionary activity against the floundering Second Republic. The newly rechristened WPA grew to become a significant challenger to the established Republican and Democratic parties, despite a brief loss of momentum admist a period of economic growth and the triumph of Leonard Wood's progressive Republicans until his assassination in 1927. With the collapse of the social-democratic Second International and the rise of Lenin's Third Communist International, the SLP changed it's name to the Workers' Party of America in 1921 in order to adhere to the 21 Conditions. The Socialist Labor Party became the leader of anti-war sentiment during the Great War, despite intensifying persecution under the National Unity Government, and quickly assumed a similar role during the Biennio Rosso, although it failed to result in the desired revolution before it fizzled out in 1920.
