From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Social Democratic Party of Georgia was a leading political party in pre-Soviet Georgia. Consisting of the former Menshevik faction members of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, it ran the Democratic Republic of Georgia from 1918 to 1921.

At parliamentary elections on February 14, 1919 it garnered 81.5% of the votes. In March 1921 it was overthrown by a Red Army invasion. The party was liquidated in the aftermath of the failed anti-Soviet uprising in 1924.
