From 1790 to the late 1800’s, the Industrial Revolution recreated industry as Europe knew it with ground-breaking inventions and mass-producing factories. The Industrial Revolution widened the social gap with the bourgeoisie on a pedestal and the proletariat baring the weight of being the work class that would make the Industrial Revolution happen; this strife would lead to many riots and revolutions across Europe as many men like Karl Marx would develop solutions to the proletarian’s problems such as communism. The question arose of how the proletariat were to rebel against the bourgeoisie. The fact was that a revolution was inevitable. The “history of class struggles” would not stop with the Industrial Revolution; the struggle between classes …show more content…
Marx’s point of view was that the working men had no country to begin with because they are property of the bourgeoisie and therefore the ignorant ideology that the bourgeoisie tried to impose on the proletarians, that they should be loyal to their country and they and the bourgeoisie are one in the same because they are both striving to better their country, was utterly vacuous. Once the proletarian were to come in power and the “exploitation of individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to” and the world will be as it should be (page …show more content…
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by the means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. “Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.”

These rational regulations made trade easier. The introduction of a progressive agrarian order were the cornerstones of the reform, which was gradually transferred to other European countries. Early industrialization accompanied by broader systemic measures, such as various forms of agrarian reform ("peasant emancipation", "enclosures", etc.),
As newer industrialization was introduced to the world, the standard of living for the people increased. Better
The 1st and 2nd industrial revolution were two major events that both occurred within 1750 CE to 1900 CE. Both “revolutions” were marked by advancements in industrialization/mechanization and increased productivity (efficiency). Another similarity was their impact on the population in whole and the working population. On the other hand, two differences were that the inventions made and the areas the revolution spread to.
Everyone knows about the industrial revolution and how it had a significant impact on the world, but the question is, was it positive or negative? So many things happened during the industrial era that led to our world now, that’s why this essay is going to be talking about the specific impact that industrial revolution had on the world. Industrialization has changed the world for better for several reasons: firstly, it has improved children’s working conditions by creating new laws, secondly, new machinery made quicker production of resources, and thirdly, created clean living conditions for people. The opposition may argue that industrialization was awful because of how people suffered. However, industrialisation had more advantages than
The politics of the Industrial Revolution also revolved around nationalism especially in some German and Italian Provinces. The nationalism that is developed in the Industrial Revolution plays a role in starting the new imperialism in the 1880’s and then again in World War I. In response to the Industrial Revolution socialism and communism gain traction in Europe. Socialism appealed to the workers because it was a commitment to community and the wealth was shared. There were many people who supported socialism such as Robert Owen (1771-1858) and Charles Fourier (1772-1837).
Industrialization’s negative effects were children had to work without an education, pollution came from all of the factories,
Moving farmers to the city to work in factories created more people and more poverty. Since the working class depended on the money they made to live the necessity to work became important because their live in poverty or even being rich depended
The Industrial Revolution that began in Europe changed society in many ways. Some of these changes were positive while others were negative. A positive effect of the Industrial Revolution is more jobs are available. In document 1a only two people is needed to operated a machine and in document 1b more than one person is needed to use a machine.
In the early 19th century the economic system of capitalism took flight in industrialized Europe, particularly in London and certain areas of the mainland. With this new system of capitalism, social and economic classes began to change and divide. This divergence created a friction between the classes that only grew as people began to voice their dislike. An obvious voice of this dislike was Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ as they collaborated on the Manifesto of the Communist Party. Initially this work was very unpopular, it was simply one document of many but eventually became a prominent piece of framework for the revolutions that followed.
The rise of the proletariats did not mean the rise of means of production within the capitalistic society, but the belief Marx had that the contradictions that existed between the bourgeois and the proletariat would favour the rise of the majority party and the downfall of the minority, bourgeois party (Haralambos and Holborn, 2008). He saw the two classes and how those (proletariats) who did more work received less because all they had to offer was the labour power and how the other bourgeois class gained all the monetary gain through this exploitation. Marx believed that tensions and conflicts would rise between capitalists causing the downfall of the system (Marsh, 1996). To him, polarization (working population splitting and being identified as two different groups: capitalists and labourers), homogenization (two polarized groups causing workers to be alike due to work and loss of traditional skills) and pauperization (wage workers are turned into paupers because their wages do not increase with the rise of profits even though workload increases) are inevitable and are the main tensions that will bring down capitalism (Marsh, 1996). According to Marx, the magnitude of the contradictions between the two social classes was increasing with the rise of capitalism.
Correspondingly, the government supported the industrialization financially. One
All of these aspects of the living conditions faced by the working-class further strengthens the class divide. Fernando Garrido’s views on communism in Spain clarifies how these divulging lifestyles resulted from the Industrial Revolution: “What is said...about property: however sacred this right may be, when only a small number of privileged people can use it - and generally to the detriment of the greatest number who own nothing - is it not normal for the greatest number to view it as an enemy of their
Though the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries is often lauded for its role in exponentially increasing the productive capacity of the West, it created unprecedented hardships for laborers in England, France, and Germany. In the midst of this turmoil and on the eve of the Revolution of 1848 in Germany, German philosopher, economist, and political revolutionary Karl Marx collaborated with Friedrich Engels at the request of the Communist League to compose a manifesto on its behalf. The Manifesto of the Communist Party reflects an attempt to explain the goals of Communism, as well as the theory underlying this movement. It argues that class struggles, or the exploitation of one class by another, are the motivating force behind
In the creation of the Industrial Revolution, it provided jobs and comfort towards the people, later on, creating a mass destruction caused by the people who revolt from the standards of society. The society puts people into group categorizing them from poor to rich, and in a way, the poor had to deal with the society that placed them in the worst circumstances. From houses unsuitable for themselves, especially children, to working standard that did not pay enough, but could hardly sustain a healthy lifestyle. The higher class soon became more selfish with bystanders and this resulted in the poor to revolt for the better. Demanding better work and home services and working conditions soon this idea became reality.
The Industrial Revolution, took place in the 18th to 19th centuries, was a period which was mostly rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urbanized. Before the Industrial Revolution, in the late 1700s in Britain, manufacturing was mostly done in people’s homes, using hand powered tools and basic machines. Industrialization marked the shift to powered, or specialty machinery, factories and mass production of goods. The iron and textile industries, along with the invention of the steam engine, played crucial roles in the Industrial Revolution, which also began the improvement of transportation, communication and banking systems. While industrialization brought an increased volume and the vastness of manufactured goods and an improved standard of living, it also resulted in often dingy employment opportunities and living conditions for the poor and working class of people.
