A National-Social Association was the German liberal political party founded around 1896 by Friedrich Naumann in opposition to the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
In the 2nd half of the 19th century Germany underwent a rapid industrial enterprise, which was attached sustaining rising social problems.
Following of this a SPD was founded and shortly outlawed under a foremost chancellor of the German empire Otto von Bismarck.
When a person was legalized once more inside 1890 (the month Bismarck resigned & Wilhelm II was appointed emperor), it enjoyed considerable success at elections. Since a SPD was Marxist, using Karl Marx's Das Kapital for their theoretical underpinnings the ruling classes considered it the threat.
Around 1896, Friedrich Naumann, a Protestant parish priest, founded the National-Social Association as a liberal alternative guided by Protestant principles, as against a atheism of the SPD.
In the elections of 1898 and 1903 a candidates of the association failed to gain seats & Naumann dissolved the person.
