Which political transformation did the SAP undergo under Branting?

  • Radical socialist to dominant party

  • From communist to capitalist

  • From agrarian to industrial

  • From monarchist to republican

Answer

The SAP, which was founded in 1889, initially had a radical socialist ideology. However, under the leadership of Hjalmar Branting, the party gradually moved to the center-left and became the dominant party in Swedish politics. This transformation was due in part to Branting's belief that the party should focus on practical reforms rather than revolutionary goals.
