Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Socialist Unity Party of Germany 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. 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 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 autumn of 1989.
