Answer 1

Karl Marx viewed history primarily as a) as a constant class struggle that would ultimately lead to communism. He believed that historical development is driven by the conflict between different social classes, particularly the bourgeoisie (owners of capital) and the proletariat (working class). According to Marx, this struggle would eventually result in a revolutionary change, leading to a classless society and the establishment of communism.
