KPD Split (1921)

The KPD Split of 1921 refers to a major division within Germany's Communist Party (KPD). Disagreements over strategy and leadership led to a fracture, creating two factions: one more moderate and open to working within the existing political system, and another more radical and revolutionary. This split weakened the party’s unity and influence during a turbulent period of political and economic instability in Germany. It exemplifies how internal disagreements can significantly impact political movements, especially in times of crisis.
