Wikipedia Random article #1

I've decided to try a new blogging experiment using Wikipedia random article search. Today's post will be the first in the series, so here we go:

Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany

It was a short lived political party during the Second Reich.

"The history of the USPD began on December 21, 1915, members of the SPD fraction in the Reichstag, the German parliament, voted against the authorization of further credits to finance World War I, an incident that emphasized existing tensions between the party's leadership and the left-wing pacifists surrounding Hugo Haase and ultimately led to the expulsion of the group from the SPD fraction on March 24, 1916."
