Karl Marx and Communism

He thought that workers should be paid the same amount of money. That means if you work as a business man, and you live in a communist country, then you would get paid the same amount of money as someone working as a cashier. To him the good guys were the factory workers who worked long hours at minimum wage. They knew that they were being mistreated and they should be paid the same amount as everyone else. The bad guys to him were the owners of businesses, mostly factory owners. Communism is the government system in which the government controls everything and people are paid the same money. Karl Marx wanted Communism to take over the world becuase he didn't like the fact that the workers were looked down upon their masters. He didn't like the fact that workers were getting poorer and the owners were getting richer, and that wasn't fair.

Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx did not like the Idustrial Revolution becuase he thought that workers should have the same rights as there bosses. Karl Marx also didnt like the fact that the Idustries paid people different so it would dicide if there rich or poor. He belived that people should control the government. Karl got inspired by the Industrial Revolution to invent communism because he saw that captilism would soon cause destruction.

Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the people's loyalty to sharing a common language or culture and not to a king or queen. Some examples that show that people are nationalistic is that we share that same the same language in out country, we celebrate the same holidays and we have the same currency. We celebrate our independence day, July 4, and share the same language.

In Italy, nationalism grew out of the French Revolution. Italy used to be part of the Austria-Hungary empire. Italy got influenced by other country's that declared independence. When Italy declared their independence, they had a war of independence. Italy was then formed by nationalism and made their own flag. Covour helped fight many battles for Italy to get rid of the Austrian forces and take their territory back.
