Social Democracy (Denmark) (1814: Norwegian Independence)

Social Democracy (Danish: Socialdemokraterne) is a Danish social democratic political party. The party stared in 1871, built on the socialist ideas of Karl Marx. Today, the party is the main centre-left political force in Denmark.

In the party's early years, they campaigned for suffrage for all men and women, and the abolishion of capitalism. During the first world war, the party became radicalized, with opposition towards both sides in the war. There was disputes in the party if they should follow a reformist or revolutionary line.

For most of the party's history, they supported neutrality and Schleswig-Holstein self-governance, seeing the fact that these German territories was under Danish control a factor for German aggression towards Denmark in both world wars.

When Denmark became occupied by German and Swedish forces under the second world war, Social Democracy splitt between the Reform Group, that tried to compromice with the occupants, and the party itself, that opposed the occupation violently.

After the war, these factions of the party would reunify, with many communists leaving to form other parties, and the Social Democratic branch of the party taking control.

Today, current leader of Social Democracy is Frank Jensen, and the party is the main opposition against the current government.
