England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland ^[6][7] Engels' father thought working in at the Manchester firm might make Engels reconsider the radical leanings that he had developed in high school^[2][7]. On his way to Manchester, Engels visited the office of the Rheinische Zeitung and met Karl Marx for the first time - though the pair did not impress each other.

The two maintained a lifelong relationship; they never married, as Engels was against the institution of marriage which he saw as unnatural and unjust. ^[10]

During his time in Manchester, Engels took notes and personally observed the horrible working conditions of English workers. These notes and observations, along with his experience working in his father's commercial firm, formed the basis for his first book The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844. The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 is one of the best-known works of Friedrich Engels. Whilst writing Conditions of the Working Class, Engels continued his involvement with radical journalism and politics.

The February 1848 Revolution in France ended the reign of King Louis-Philippe, and led to the creation of the French Second Republic (1848-1852 This event caused Engels & Marx to go back to their home country of Prussia, specifically the city of Cologne. Prussia ( Latin: Borussia, Prutenia; Prūsija Prūsija Prusy Old Prussian: Prūsa) was most recently a historic state While living in Cologne, Engels and Marx created and served as editors for a new daily newspaper called the Neue Rheinische Zeitung^[6].

Back in Manchester

Once Engels made it to England, he decided to re-enter the commercial firm where his father held shares in order to help support Marx with his publications. He hated this work intensely but knew that his friend needed the support. ^[13][14] He started off as an office clerk, the same position he held in his teens, but eventually worked his way up to become a joint proprietor in 1864. Five years later, Engels retired from the business to focus more on his studies^[6]. At this time, Marx was living in London but they were able to exchange ideas through daily correspondence. In 1870, Engels moved to London where both he and Marx lived until the latter's death in 1883^[2]. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom.

After Marx's death, Engels devoted much of his remaining years to editing and translating Marx's unpublished works. However, he also contributed significantly to other areas, such as feminist theory. Feminist theory is the extension of Feminism into theoretical or philosophical, ground Engels believed that the concept of monogamous marriage was created from the domination of men over women. Monogamy is the custom or condition of having only one mate in a Relationship, thus forming a Couple. Engels would tie this particular argument to communist thought by arguing that men have dominated women just as the capitalist class has dominated workers. Capitalism is the Economic system in which the Means of production are owned by private Persons and operated for Profit and where One of the best examples of Engels' thoughts on these issues are in his work The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.
