History
Formation
The SDP was formed on August 7th, 1862, twenty-one years after the Treaty of Maldati ended the Scalizagastian Revolution. It was created by the merger of two existing organizations, the socialist Workingmen's League and the democratic anti-clerical Radical Party. It sought to represent the rapidly expanding urban working class and closely organized with labour unions.
