## **History**

### Eisner Government

After the collapse of the German Empire, Kurt Eisner declared the People's State of Bayern, without consultation of the King of Bavaria on November of 1918. Eisner became the president of Bavaria a few days afterwards, however, due to his past actions, he was hated amongst the German people and the Bavarian people. As a result, his presidency was short lived.

Eisner was assassinated in Munich when a German nationalist shot him in the back on the 21st of February 1919. At the time, Eisner was on his way to present his resignation to his future heir. This caused a power-gap between the government of Bavaria and the people.

### Communist Government

On the 23rd of February 1919, the Communist State of Bayern was formed by the Communist Council Parliament of Bayern. With recognition and aid from the Soviet Republic, the party took over the Eisner government and turned the region into a communist dictatorship. The council ruled with a iron fist, the freedom of speech was heavily censored in the country, and anyone who dare to protest against the government would be jailed or even worse, executed. The country remained untouched by neighboring states, due to the country implementing a isolationist policy, while spreading propaganda. The country, to outsiders, was called a " rich and free living republic ".

On the 12th of November 1919, a revolution started against the Communist Council Parliament of Bayern, the rival party was called the Bayerischer Landtag ( Bavarian State Parliament ). With equipment and supply from western nations like Saxony, the Communist Government surrendered on the 29th of November 1919. All officials related to the party were jailed.

### Bayerischer Landtag Rule

Under Bayerischer Landtag, all laws during the Communist Government period were made void and most laws and the consitution of the country were reformed. On the 30th of December 1919, the economy of the government boomed, turning the country into a westernized state, with good relations with the western countries and neighboring ones. The Bayerischer Landtag administration made laws to turn the party into a eternal dictatorship. Opinions regarding the law were mixed, although in the later years of the new government, opinion about the law were mostly positive.

In 1942, for the first time in the history of the nation, The first elections were held. The election was Bayerischer Landtag against Vereintes Bayern ( United Bavaria ), a far right party formed in 1926 to rebel against the 1 party system. Ultimately, Bayerischer Landtag won the majority, with a high 2.3M vote against Vereintes Bayern's close 2.1M. Vereintes Bayern claimed of electoral fraud, making unsubstantiated allegations accusing Bayerischer Landtag of vote manipulation. Supporters of Vereintes Bayern began protesting the next day on 22nd of July 1942, and continued up until November 1945, when Vereintes Bayern was dissolved due to the death of the chairman of the party.

To prevent an election incident happening again, Bavaria eventually reverted back to the 1-party system.

### Contemporary history

after 1943, the government began democratizing and since 1961, the government began thinking about hosting another elections. It was promised by the government that in the near-future, Bavaria would become a free, democratic republic, although it was unknown if Bavaria will actually transition fully into a democracy.
