What did socialism become more popular in europe during the 19th century? 1 there was a huge gap in wealth between factory owners and the people who worked in their factories. 2 the lower working classes were not able to find jobs in europe's new industrial economy. 3 workers were eager for a government that gave them more representation in parliament. 4 women and children were paid much more for the same work, leading male workers to seek change.

I believe the answer should be 1. I was torn between 1 and 3 but if I am not mistaken you are asking about all of Europe in general and number 3 speaks on Parliament which was not a system in all European countries. 2 is incorrect as the Industrial Revolution allowed for the extra laborers to have a job in urban areas and factories whereas previously they were without much to do because of the Agricultural Revolution, and unemployment was not a very big factor in the growth of socialism at the time making 1 a bit of a better answer. 4 is incorrect as that is simply not factual, evidence being that certain laws (beginning in England) made it so women and children were not able to work as much as men and therefore were paid less. Also, they were not the driving force of socialism making that false and 1 as the best answer. Hope this helps, if you need clarification on anything let me know
