Background: The 1929 May Day riots in Berlin occurred when Communist demonstrators defied a government ban and clashed with police during labor protests. The violence left at least 33 dead and hundreds injured. The crackdown, ordered by the Social Democratic-led government, deepened the rift between the Social Democrats and Communists, weakening leftist unity in the face of the rising far-right.
