Socialism (jan 1, 1700 – jan 1, 1900)
Description:
The political belief that the government needs to provide extensive social and economic benefits for its citizens. This theory began in the early 1800s largely in response to the suffering of the industrial poor. Socialists also believe that the government's primary concern is the protection and care of its citizens, even if private property needs to be taken.Added to timeline:
