Karl Marx believed that human history passed through
several stages. According to his theory, peo-ple first
lived in small communities or tribes, sharing property
and work. Then there was a period of slav-ery, when
people were owned like property. This was followed
by feudalism, when landowners controlled the lives of
serfs, and then by capitalism, when capi-talists owned
machinery and tools and employed workers in their
factories. Marx believed the final stage of history
would be pure communism, with each person
contributing what he or she could and receiv-ing what
he or she needed.

tary leaders for educated soldiers. The spread of edu-
cation had several effects. With education, people
became more informed about issues, and they took
greater interest in government activities. Since more
people could read, newspapers, magazines, and books
began to be published in massive quantities. As peo-
ple became more educated and informed, they began
to demand a greater say in the issues that affected
their lives.

By the late 1700s, there was increasing unrest in Latin
America, partially due to news of successful
revolutions in North America and France. Mestizos
and mulattoes were especially stirred by the equality
proclaimed by the American and French Revolutions.
Creoles were discontented with the class system and
with rule by Spanish officials. Colonists resented the
mercantilistic restrictions that raised the prices of
imported goods and kept the colonies dependent on
the home country. The Spanish colonies also resented
having to pay taxes to finance Spain’s wars.
