The National Socialist Party was a small political party in the United Kingdom, founded in 1916. It originated as a minority group within the British Socialist Party who supported British participation in World War I; while historically linked with the Marxist left, the party broke with internationalism. The National Socialist Party was affiliated to the Labour Party and was eventually absorbed by it. Despite its name, it was not ideologically connected to the Nazi Party or National Socialism.
