In feudal society, economic relationships with the land defined political activity. Modern social movements became possible through the wider dissemination of literature, and increased mobility of labour due to the industrialisation of societies. Organised social structures like the modern day armies, political societies and popular movements required freedom of expression, education and relative economic independence.
Usually, the labor movement and socialist movement of the late 19th century are seen as the prototypical social movements, leading to the formation of communist and social democratic parties and organisations.
From 1815, Britain after victory in the Napoleonic Wars entered a period of social upheaval and change, caused by returning soldiers and unemployment. This resulted in class struggle in the Peterloo Massacre, the Reform Act of 1832, disputes over the Corn laws. Other European countries, such as France, began to see the emergence of political and social movements in the 19th Century. These social movements, set the background to which Karl Marx attempted to analyse social theory more generally.
