3.2.1. Summary

Three Things I Learned
1. I learned who created communism, when, and why and that true communism has never existed (and probably never will).
2. I also learned that Great Britain was the first country to abolish slavery in 1833. The abolition of slavery came not only because of moral reasons but business reasons as well.
3. I learned that Egypt also industrialized during this time under Muhammed Ali.

Two Things That Interested Me
1. That the Agricultural Revolution occured before the Industrial Revolution and was a key factor in the industrialization of Britain, and thus, the world.
2. All of the different -isms that came out of the Industrial Revolution to try and improve society. It's fascinating how diverse the ideas are.

One Question I Have
1. Were the child labor reforms that occured in Great Britain repeated in other European countries shortly thereafter? In other words, were the improvements in the lives of the working class citizens also brought to other industrialized countires?
