Socialism has its origins in the French Revolution of 1789 and the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution.

EUROPE

The European Society was divided into liberals, radicals and conservatives.

But They felt only men of property have the rights to vote.

Who are Radicals?

The Radicals those who wanted a government based on the majority of the population.

They disliked concentrationof property in the hands of a few.

They opposed the privilegesof great landowners and wealthy factory owners

Conservatives are those who felt that changes should be brought

forth slowly but at the same time the past should also be respected.

By the mid nineteenth century socialism became popular and attracted many in Europe.

Robert Owen, Louis Banc of France, Karl Marx were some of the great socialists of this time.

When the socialist ideas spread in Europe they formed the Second International, an international body to coordinate

their efforts. In Germany, associations worked very closely with the

Socialist Democratic Party which helped the party to win seats in the parliamentary election.
