Karl Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” Analyze the quote and select the statement about events in France during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that best supports this argument.(1 point)
The statement "The French Revolution of 1789 saw the bourgeoisie overthrow the aristocracy and establish a new capitalist society, driven by class struggle and economic tensions" best supports Marx's argument that history is shaped by class struggles. This event illustrates how a dominant ruling class (the bourgeoisie) were able to overthrow another ruling class (the aristocracy) in order to advance their own economic and social interests. It highlights the inherent conflict between different social classes and their struggle for power and control.
