What is Marxism's relation to social, political and economic upheavals of the 19th century?

Full question is:

Karl Marx developed a new philosophy for a new era. How was Marxism a reaction to the social, political and economic upheavals of the nineteenth century? Your essay should include a brief explanation of Marxism, the contextualization of his philosophy and a response to the aforementioned question.

I'm helping a friend do his humanities/history paper. I'm no expert on Marx. Any help is thoroughly appreciated.
