Explain what life was like in the industrialized word in 1900 and explain how and why you think Karl Marx’s ideas offer the most hope for improving the industrialized world.
he Challenges of Industrialization
A great wave of industrial growth spread across the Western
world at the end of the nineteenth century. When inventors
figured out how to mass-produce steel relatively cheaply, tall
buildings rose toward the sky, mighty bridges spanned great
rivers, and factories sprouted up. An ever-growing number of
powerful machines used the newly harnessed power of
electricity and petroleum to transport people and churn out
mass-produced goods. People poured into cities to work long
hours for low wages in dangerous, dirty, dark factories. Many
workers were forced to live in miserable, overcrowded
conditions.
