Prior to La Belle Epoque, Europe had to sift through an age of reactionary and revolutionary uprisings, ranging from the classless ideology of socialism, to the radical freedoms demanded from European liberals, which all threatened the age-old conservative system Europe had worked so hard to maintain, even forcing powerhouse nations like France to submit to a republic.
The ideology of socialism was influenced by imaginative thinkers of the era, and brought political titans like Karl Marx to contribute to their ideas, and often receiving negative feedback from the conservative majority. Socialism during the 19th century was still in its stages of infancy, and needed to gain their walking legs as soon as possible, and that they did, due to the effects of the earlier Industrial Revolution, with the unrest of the working middle class fueling the soon-to-be wild fire of socialism. This classless, cooperative society was eye opening and accepting in the minds of the working class, who were becoming fed up with the harsh and outrageous work requirements demanded from the growing industrial nations like Britain and France. As this unrest grew, so did the support of socialism, with its ideology expanding as well, now expressing their views and emphasis on a planned economy as well as other classless forms of statehood. Soon enough, social experiments were conducted on socialist ideas, expressing their appeal to the working class even greater as some views of socialism was referred to as “Utopian Socialism”. Under this Utopian Socialism, a classless state could easily be formed based around the mythological and philosophical ideas of a utopian society, in which everyone was equal and had their proper share. But although the socialist fervor was widespread, few socialist regimes were formed, mainly due to the firm conservative grip and power the conservative aristocracy still held.
Socialism was not the only ideology that rose to influence Europe in the 19th century. The ideas of liberalism also demanded radical change from old conservative ways, and demanded freedoms such as freedom of the press to be established and withheld, weakening government censorship. Liberals often derived their philosophy from the government of the United States, and were soon demanding such articles as a constitution being implemented into their own nation’s government. The debate of the economy was also argued, with liberals supporting a laissez-faire approach, with little government regulation, again being much unlike a planned economy of socialism. The liberal movement saw its rise and support so quickly due to the class supporting it, which was the businessmen and educated enlightened thinkers who had grown sick of conservative restrictions and censorship. Crying for democracy and suffrage, the liberals only wanted to see their conservative “tyrants” overthrown and a newer, freer, government replacing it.
Talks of reform, demanding of freedoms, and even threats of revolution all plagued 19th century Europe as the conservatives looked on as their once praised Concert of Europe crumbled beneath their feet, but the conservative aristocracy did not sit by and let this happen. Throughout this time period, both socialism and liberalism were strongly criticized and unsupported by the upper class of society, and would not allow the age old European conservative system to change so drastically or collapse so quickly. And with this tenacity and support, the conservative aristocracy managed to keep the infestation of liberalism and socialism at bay for the time being, often using force and strict policies to ensure the status quo issued by the Congress of Vienna was kept.
