Industrialization

The SettingDuring the mid 1700s there was audden outburst of technologydvancing and all aspects of lifemproving, this time was called thendustrial Revolution. It began withhe Agricultural Revolution in

England And slowly progressed intohe advancement of industrial needs.

The World Advancing

The Industrial Revolution began inEngland and technology began toproduce even more and more. More

nd More inventions were beingreated everyday changing the way

people lived, worked, and travelled.

Steam engines and Boats were createdfor easy travel and cargo carry.

The Industrialization Idea soon beganto spread to all countries in Europeand to the United States. Soonenough, the whole world was more

advanced in technology and

manufacturing. Society began toimprove but even so, pollution, popeople, and unhealthy livingconditions did as well.

New Ideas

There were many new Ideaspresented during the IndustrialRevolution. The three big Ideas wethe economic ideas of Capitalism,Socialism and Communism. Adam

smith was a popular writer whodefended the ideas of Capitalism.Other reformists went against it wthe idea of Socialism, and Karl Maintroduced his own idea of Communism through the Commun

Manifesto, a pamphlet he wrote.

Starting in England during the 1700s, the world began the Industrial Revolution

advancing their technology and the thinking of the modern day person.

Industrialization made many new factories

pop up all along the countries creating new

jobs, and new manufactured goods.




Industrial Revo

TheProblem

The problem that Karl Marx isacing is the government. TheCapitalist thinkers of Smith,Malthus and Ricardo opposedgovernment efforts to helppoor workers. They thoughthat it would only upset theree market system and

undermine production of wealth in society. These two

eliefs brought the society’s

underclass down in to thegutter while the big companyowners and upper class wassitting gaining even moremoney, not helping the poor.

Along with the horribleeconomic and social status,there was a huge pollution

and health problemdeveloping. Due to the largepoverty from the capitalistgovernment scheme, therewere a lot of problems havingto do with living and workingconditions for the lower class.

Marx was working togetheralong with Friedrech Engels inan attempt to spread his

communist ideas.According to both of them the IndustrialRevolution had made thewealthy richer and thepoor poorer. Theypredicted that theworkers wouldoverthrow their owners.

This is exactly what KarlMarx wanted to do sothat his form of communism could comeinto play.

“In a place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms,

we shall have an association which the free development of each is the condition

for the free development of all”

— -Karl Marx

Karl Marx was a journalist and

economist. he joined the flood of

radicals who fled for continental

Europe for England. His theories

made him little money and made

a meager living off of his

Journalism, His german

coauthor, Friedrich Engels Helped

him out.




ndustrial Revolution

The Goal

Marx believed that Factories would drivesmall artisans out of business making asmall amount of people controlling the

wealth. Then the big amount of workerswould strike against the rich factoryowners and create their own economy.This new economy would create equalityfor all. Soon after the government wouldcease to exist as a classless society wasdeveloped. Marx called this purecommunism and described it as a form of complete socialism in which the means of production would be owned by thepeople.

Private property would soon beimaginary and everything including agoods and services would be shared.

book, The Communist Manifesto, onlycreated short-term affects.

Marx Believed that economic forcesdominated society. Even though, timeshowed that religion nationalism, eth

loyalties and desire for democraticreforms may have as strong as aninfluence. The gap between the rich anpoor within industrialized countriesfailed to widen like Marx and Englespredicted.

Friedrich Engles was the co-author

of The Communist Manifesto helping

out marx with his studies. He was a

German social scientist, author,

political theorists, industrialist and

philosopher. Friedrich is also

considered to be the father of the

theory of Marxism. He supported

Marx financially and was also a

good friend of his.




Industrial Revo

TheEvents

The Communist Manifesto didnot spark much interest in allf Europe. It only producedome short term effects and

Caused many revolutionsduring the widespreadevolutions in Europe in 1848.

This time is known as theEuropean Revolutions of 1848

lso known in some countries

as the Spring of Nations,Springtime of the Peoples. Itwas a great revolutionaffecting over 50 countries.The people of many Europeancountries wanted change of their government, reform forthe workers, and an uprisingof nationalism

The Communist Manifesto andKarl Marx’s ideas were mostinfluential in Germany andBelgium

In germany, the “MarchRevolution” in the germanstates took place in the Southand West Germany. Thesewere led by well educated

students and intellectuals.They demanded Germannationaly unity and freedom.Following this The Communist

Manifesto began to irritateGermany. After the MarchInsurrection , their demandswere greatly reduced. Thepamphlet only urged unity of

Germany, universal suffrageabolition of feudal duties andsimilar middle class goals.

In Belgium a threat wascoming in from France duringthe time of revolution.Seasonal workers began tospread Communism by thesmall Communist clique of Beglium. Theses people were

brought to Belgium beingpromised a free ride homemoney. The planned tooverthrow the governmen

The Belgian leader wouldinvade Belgium by train antravel to Brussels where thgovernment and monarchy

would be overthrown. Belg border troops were able tosplit apart the large groupsthis legion. The invasion cato nothing.

The Communist ideas wervery popular and didn’tspread much during thesetimes. However, later on thwill.

ndustrial Revolution

The Ending

Communism wasn’t a very popular ortrongly supported idea during the timef the Industrial Revolution. It failed topread and carry out its ideas. Manyollowed it but didn’t make much

progress anywhere in Europe. Later onhough, country rulers adopted the ideaf Marxism and use it to this very day.

An example of some of the communisteaders are Vladimir Lenin of Russia, Mao

Zedong of Russia, and Fidel Castro of Cuba. All were very strict, cruel leaderswho caused internal war in their

countries and radical political reform.They all made their own political partieswith the same goal of communism.

Communist ideas were spreading aboutin newer areas, such as Cambodia, China,Korea, Russia and Cuba. Communismwas not viewed at this time as a very

good idea to help the people. The onlything coming out of it was war andrevolution and many attempted to stop it.The United States and Russia had theCold War or the American fight againstworld Communism.

All of the Communist leaders of theworld created their own political party.Lenin was one of the first to adopt KarlMarx’s ideas and Joseph Stalin after himwho led the Soviet Union or The Union of

Soviet Socialist Republics. This Party a socialist party in Russia. Communiswas just another form of extremesocialism. This party also worked witCuba’s Fidel Castro during the Cold Wand Arms Race.

Castro’s ideas were built of Lenin’s an

Lenin’s were built off of Karl Marx’sideas. Cuba also had an alliance with soviet union. Castro became very reliaupon the Soviets after the Cuban misscrisis.

Communism after Marx was viewed a bad political idea and had to be put tostop, currently only a handful of countries are communist, the SovietUnion dissipated.

DemocraticReform

The SettingDuring the 1800s people wanted reformo the democratic government that they

were living in. Voting was limited to menwho only owned a substantial bit of land

nd women were excluded from the righto vote. Beginning in 1830 protests begano occur in England in favor of a bill in

Parliament that would extend suffrage, orhe right to vote.

The revolution of 1830 in France scaredParliament leaders, they feared that theviolent revolution would spread toBritain. They passed the Reform Bill of

832 which ceased the propertyequirements so that some men in the

middle class can vote. It also modernizeddistricts for electing parliament members

nd gave industrial cities moreepresentation. Women were still left out

of the picture though and some men werestill unable to vote.

Another movement arose among theworkers called the Chartist Movement.They wanted suffrage for all men. Theyalso wanted Parliament to be moreresponsive with the lower classes filledwith factory workers and other groups.Parliament rejected their demandsthough but they continued to protest.They continued to protest for Political

reform and Parliament finally made th

demands law.

Queen Victoria was the monarch overBritain at the time with all of the proteand movements going on. She wasconsiderably less powerful andinfluential due to Parliament. During time Britain was at its height for wealand power. The monarchs before herhowever, had great influence overParliament giving almost all of the poto it and the house of commons.

Even after all of the reform going on iBritain still no country allowed womavote, as more men were allowed to, mwomen started to protest. Small reformparties began to form and more and mwomen demanded the right to vote,causing parliament to be in high dem

TheProblemThe problem at the timewas that the governmentwas not giving their peoplehe representation that they

wanted. Woman still had nouffrage and most of the

working class did not havehe right to vote as well.

Because of all of the rightshat the government wasn’t

giving more and more

protests began to rise,making the governmentworried and fearful that itmight get out of control.

The amount of thepopulation in the very beginning of the Britishparliament was only 5% of the whole population. Thiswas a very smallpercentage and amount of the population. People stillwanted morerepresentation and weregetting mad at thegovernment.

Because the governmentwas not abiding with thepeoples demands, moreand more began to riseagainst it, EmmelinePankhurst was a womanwho fought for woman’ssuffrage, she had formed

the WSPU that peacefullyfought for women’s rights.The WSPU became themost militant organizationfor woman’s rights andwas the biggest influencefor getting reform in thenation.

England had many protests during this time in order to give universal suffrage

to all in England. This is just one of them so that men could get suffrage.

This is Emmeline Pankhurst, th

founder and one of the leaders

of the WSPU (Women’s Social

and Political Union)



R E F O R M

The GoalThe Women’s Social and PoliticalUnion (the WSPU) was the leadingmilitant organization campaigningor Women’s suffrage in England.

Their members were known asuffragettes. The WSPU was formed

by Emmeline Pankhurst on October0, 1903 by six women who becamehe group leaders. It was a women-

only organization that campaignedor social reforms and for anxtension of women’s suffrage. They

believed in sexual equality.

They had a slogan that betterdescribed their militant behavior thatwas “deeds not words”. At first theWSPU only had peaceful campaignsin the beginning, being part of thenon-militant National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies. Themembers of this group however broke apart into the WSPU in order to

become more militant and getmore of a reaction from thegovernment. At first they had alack of success by what they wedoing by persuading politicianthrough meetings.

The WSPU also convinced amember of Parliament BamfordSlack to introduce a bill for wom

suffrage. This bill however wasquickly talked out and ignored. Thpublicity of it greatly increased thegrowth of the group leading to bemore popular, powerful andinfluential in their fight to gainWomen’s suffrage.

The Eventsn order to gain more significance inheir fight for suffrage, the WSPU led

by Emmeline Pankhurst had to fightor their rights. They began a series of

demonstrations in lobbies of Parliament causing multiple arrests of he growing numbers of the group.

They mostly focused on attackingwhich political party that was ingovernment and refused to supportegislation.

There was a split in the group whichaused the Women’s Freedom League

to form. After the split a newnewspaper for the group was made,Votes for Women which was thegroups’s own newspaper.

The suffragettes became even moremilitant in leader years bringing theprotests into prison even. Theirprotests also included breaking of windows of shops and buildings inorder to gain more attention. Theyalso had multiple public speakingsfrom Emmeline Pankhurst and otherWSPU leaders in order to get moreattention on women’s suffrage.

A new suffrage act was introduced in1910 but this just led to even moredestruction in public areas because it

was delayed in its purpose. This leto burning of stately homes and bombing of public buildings, also the famous death of Emily Davisowho was trampled by the King’shorse. This quickly got out of contand was a dangerous protest againthe government.

Many of their protests includedviolence, burning of churches,destruction of railways, smashinggovernment windows, and spittinpoliticians. In one case Mary Leighmember of the WSPU, threw ahatchet at the Prime minister. In 1954,000 pounds worth of damage wcaused 34,000 in April alone.

The EndingThe organization suffered some splitsausing disorganization for protests.

The editors of Votes for Women werexpelled in 1912 causing the WSPU toaunch a new journal. Another group

of the WSPU the East LondonFederation, made up of mostlyworking class women led by SylviaPankhurst was expelled in 1914.

With the approaching World WarChristabel Pankhurst, the daughter of Emmeline, lived in Paris in order tobe without fear of arrest was the

leader of the WSPU at the time. Sheordered for the group to abandon itscampaigns in favour of a nationalisticstance supporting the Britishgovernment in the war. The WSPUstopped publishing their newspaper,

The Suffragette, and started a new onecalled Britannia.

Most of the members supported theeffort to fight in the war but a smallamount started the Suffragettes of theWomen’s Social Political Union andthe Independent Women’s Social andPolitical Union. Theses groupshowever, were less influential in theirfight for women’s suffrage and didn’thave much say in it.

The WSPU lost public attention anwas dissolved in 1917, and Christaand Emmeline Pankhurst foundedthe Women’s Party. Which was aminor political party in the UK. Thgroup claimed that the fight for th

World War was more important ththe fight for woman’s suffrage at ttime.

Not until after the was women’ssuffrage recognized. In mostcountries, full universal suffrage -with the inclusion of woman -followed universal male suffrage bten to twenty years in the early 190
