Engels was born in Barmen-Elberfeld (now Wuppertal), the eldest son of a successful German textile industrialist. As a young man, his father sent him to England to help manage his cotton factory in Manchester. Shocked by the widespread poverty, he began writing an account which was published in 1845 as Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844.
