In this video we cover the development and spread of socialism in Europe. We primarily focus on Utopian Socialism and Marxism, talking about these two types of socialism differed from each other and their importance on European history. We also look at why socialism developed, specifically looking at how it was a reaction to industrialization. Finally, we look at how socialism will eventually spread throughout Europe in the late 1800s.
