The ideas of Marx spread more slowly in England than in other nations during the era for which of the following reasons?
  1. Unions and social reformers improved conditions for workers significantly.
  2. British industrialism was not as harsh as industrialism in other nations.
  3. The Chartists were effective in repressing Communism and Socialism.
  4. The tradition of the aristocracy was deeply rooted in England, making change hard.
  5. The works of Marx and Engels were banned in England.
Explanation
Answer: A - The British had achieved significant industrial reform through Parliamentary means and the influence of trade unions, making revolution less appealing; therefore, Marx's theories had difficulty finding a sympathetic audience. Nevertheless, Marx was more widely read in England than in other European nations, partially due to Engels' promotion of his work. England was also one of the few nations where Marx's publication was not banned.
