section Summary
 
 
While the United States was still establishing itself and public debates rage over what the role and duties of their new government should be other countries were fleshing out their own social security legislature. In 1880 the Chancellor of Germany, Otto von Bismarck pressured his government to pass laws that offered sickness insurance to all the nations workers. In 1883 this law was passed as well as pension benefits in 1889. In 1927, unemployment insurance was passed into German law. The same activity can be seen in England.
