SPD election campaign 1919
The German Social Democrats are trying to win women as a new electoral group in the election campaign. Nevertheless, the result is a disappointment for them, as SPD and USPD parties together win only 45.5% of the votes and thus 185 deputies. The bourgeois parties achieve the majority with 236 seats, but are not in a position to form a government.
