Socialist Unity Party of Germany
The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) (
German: Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) was the governing party of the
German Democratic Republic from its formation on 7 October
1949 until the elections of March
1990. The SED was a
Communist political party with a
Marxist-Leninist ideology, with a definite bent towards
Stalinism through much of its earlier history. In the 1980s, the SED rejected the winds of change emanating from the
Soviet Union, such as
Perestroika and
Glasnost, and also failed to react positively to the growing discontent among the population of the GDR concerning its policies, particularly those in the areas of economics, personal liberty and the freedom to travel, which eventually led to the party's downfall in the fall of 1989.
