What were the political developments during the Wilhelmine period?
- Polarisation of German politics enabled social and economic change.
- Political developments occurred on the LEFT:
- This occurred because the URBAN WORKING CLASS GREW, which LED to the EXPANSION of left wing organisations, such as TRADE UNIONS
- (German trade union was the largest in the world in 1900).
- The SPD was the main political party on the left.
- This growth of the working class & the left, provided a CHALLENGE to Germany's Conservative elite.
