  • FAILURE of Bismarck's strategy AGAINST SOCIALISM
    • His REPRESSIVE MEASURES may have HELPED to INCREASE SUPPORT for the SPD
    • It ENSURED that moderate & revolutionary Socialist actions REMAINED UNITED
    • Many workers though the MEASURES were a 'SHAM' & that they did NOT GO FAR ENOUGH
      • This is because TRADE UNIONS were still BANNED
    • The WELFARE LEGISLATION was NOT GENEROUS
      • They did NOT HELP THE UNEMPLOYED
    • WORKING CONDITIONSwere still HARSH
    • Bismarck OPPOSED demands for STATE INTERVENTION to REGULATE WORKING HOURS & LIMIT CHILD & FEMALE EMPLOYMENT
    • Socialists REMAINED UNITED
