Socialist Workers' Party of G ermany (Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands)

Abstract

Two left‐wing parties were named the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands). The first–SAPD–was a nineteenth‐century precursor to the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, SPD), while the second–SAP–was formed by a breakaway faction of the SPD in the 1930s.
