According to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, particularly in their Communist Manifesto, the effects of industrialization include:

A. the growth of hostility between classes - Industrialization led to the development of the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production) and the proletariat (the working class who sell their labor). This relationship was inherently exploitative and therefore resulted in growing antagonism.

B. increased oppression - The working class experienced exploitation, as they were paid minimal wages while generating significant wealth for the capitalist class. Industrialization often meant harsher work conditions, longer hours, and less job security, thereby increasing the oppression of workers.

C. the division of society into many hostile camps - While Marx and Engels primarily focused on the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, they also acknowledged that society was fractured into various competing interests. However, they believed that the primary division was between these two major classes, and other hostilities were secondary.

D, an increase in cooperation between classes, is not a view shared by Marx and Engels. They argued that the capitalist system was based on class struggle, not cooperation

E. the creation of a modern bourgeois society - Industrialization and the rise of capitalism were crucial in creating a modern bourgeois society. The bourgeoisie class emerged as the dominant social class, reshaping societies and politics in their interests.
