SPD Platform Notes

1. Germany is facing an economic crisis because of the Treaty of Versailles, which forced it to pay reparations while at the same time causing it to lose its industrial areas and rely on American banks, which failed.
2. The SPD plans to give rights to workers and focus entirely on resolving economic issues, rather than building an army and starting a conflict.
   
3. The communists would remove rights from workers (as seen in Soviet Russia), which would not help the economic situation. The fascists would be too focused on building up a powerful military to worry about the economy of Germany.
4. The SPD's goals are to maintain peace in Europe and to make Germany into a respectable nation by means of its economy.
   
5. The SPD has helped Germany before by introducing things such as the eight hour day and social insurance. It realizes that the economic crisis is the real problem facing Germany, and that resolving it should take priority over militarism.
