After the failure of the German revolution in 1848, he goes into exiled in London where he leads in the same time his militant activity (animation of the first "International Working Men's Association") and the writing of his major work, "Capital", which he leaves unfinished.Karl Marx lives in poverty and is financially supported by his friend Engels.
