Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands

The Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD) was a political party in Germany founded in 1918, advocating for a communist ideology based on Marxist principles. It aimed to establish a classless society through revolutionary means, opposing capitalist structures. The KPD played a significant role during the Weimar Republic era and was often involved in political conflicts, especially with the Nazi Party. After World War II, it was eventually dissolved in West Germany in 1956, but its members contributed to the foundation of the Socialist Unity Party in East Germany. The KPD's history reflects Germany’s turbulent political landscape during the 20th century.
