Abstract
The Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) goes back to the last quarter of the 19th century. In 1889, several Austrian socialist movements united to form the Social Democratic Workers’ Party (SDAP). The party was designed to compete in the increasingly competitive party system of Habsburg Austria.
