conflict
According to Marx, all of history is a record of class struggle.
According to Karl Marx, the history of society was indeed a class struggle issue. Marx failed to consider many other aspects of human society in his "dead in the water" ideas about economics and human history.
According to Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto, the motor of history is class struggle. He believed that history is shaped by the conflicts between different social classes, particularly between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). Marx argued that these class struggles would eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a classless society.
He believed that the proletariat (the masses) would seize control of the means of production. This belief, according to Marx is indisputable and scientific. It is a process, according to Marx, that cannot be altered based on his studies in human history and practical economics. Marx did not take into account true human history. Class struggle is not the only means by which history develops.
Karl Marx
Karl Marx had developed advanced ideas about economics and the economy that had influenced other developers.
Marx's approach to history is just that--an approach. History is still history, but his perspective is in some ways similar to that of religious groups, in that they all view history as a progress toward some better future state. For the religious people, it is the Second Coming. For Marx, it is the future communist state in which everyone would give according to their abilities and receive according to their needs. The second defining characteristic of Marx's views on history is that he defined the processes of history as dialectic: that one state of things gives rise to an antithesis, and the result of their conflict creates a new state of things. The third and final defining characteristic of Marx's historical views is that he analyzed history primarily (if not exclusively) on the basis of economics. He turned away from the notion of history as the acts of great men and looked instead at who controlled the wealth and means of production, and the classes of society which resulted from economic changes in society. In this respect, Marx's analysis continues to be extremely useful and helpful in our understanding of how things happen in the world.

Karl marx
Karl Marx believed that history was primarily the story of class struggle. He argued that societal development is driven by the conflicts between different economic classes, particularly between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers). This struggle over resources and power, according to Marx, shapes social structures, political systems, and ultimately leads to revolutionary change and the evolution of societies.
Marx believed that history was the story of the struggle between the different classes in society. The opening line of chapter I of "The Communist Manifesto" is "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."
