Which of the following is a reason why socialism was particularly strong in France after the fall of Napoleon?
  1. Democracy had been largely accomplished, so socialism was the next step.
  2. Only French intellectuals were producing political theory.
  3. Napoleon had meant to implement it but had not lived to do so.
  4. It sought to address the unrealized promise of equality from the French Revolution.
  5. It was viewed as an alternative to revolution.
Explanation
Answer: D - Socialism was particularly strong in France because of the unfulfilled promises of the French Revolution. While the French government was dramatically reorganized under Napoleon, the kind of democratic institutions and overall equality that had been the goals of the Revolution failed to occur. Socialism would fuel the outbreaks of 1830 and 1848.
