		The SED was founded on April 19, 1946, in the Soviet zone of occupation through a merger of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the Communist Party of Germany, the two major left-wing political organizations in the eastern part of Germany.
		Although Moscow is still considered the ultimate guarantor of communist rule in East Germany, the leader of the socialist community, and East Germany's primary economic partner, since the early 1980s, East Germany has no longer viewed the Soviet Union as a model of socialist development worthy of emulation in all respects.
		Although attempts to carve out a separate identity as a socialist state have occurred before, particularly under Ulbricht in the 1960s and the early 1970s, the SED generally has been seen as an orthodox ally of Moscow and a staunch defender of Warsaw Pact unity.

	Germany - Political Parties and Democratization
		The reintroduction of democratic political parties in Germany was one of the primary concerns of the Allies during the final phase of the war.
		When it became obvious that the SPD would emerge as the most popular leftist party in the Soviet zone, the Soviet authorities forced the merger of the KPD and the SPD in April 1946 and subsequently, from this merger, the formation of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands--SED).
		As a result, the two other political parties authorized in the Soviet zone were purged of their leadership, and their party programs were realigned in support of SED goals.

	CER \| Germany: New tensions between the SPD and the PDS
		When, in mid-1945, the Communists took power in East Germany with the support of the Soviet Union, many Social Democrats remained—next to Nazis but next to liberal and conservative prisoners as well—in the concentration camps that were then "re-used" by the Soviet occupation forces.
		They are pinning their hopes on the growing weakness of the Greens (mostly West German "bourgeois" left-wingers) and the likewise growing discontent of a large part of the East Germans who already vote "pink" (ie more "red" than "red") in growing numbers, out of deep disappointment with the first decade of post-unification politics.
		It remains to be seen whether her likeable appearance will help the party's big business image and allow them to widen its base of "steady voters" to include more of East Germany and the female electorate.
