The Industrial Revolution changed Europe very much. Before that, most people did farming and worked in fields. But after machines and factories came, people moved to cities to work in industries. This made towns grow very fast. Production became quicker, things like clothes and tools were made in bulk and cheaper. It also helped trade between countries. But it was not all good. Workers in factories worked long hours, even children worked, and living conditions in cities was dirty and overcrowded. Rich people got richer but poor struggled a lot. Still, it gave rise to inventions like steam engine, railways, etc. Economies became more modern and societies became more urban. Education also spread more because skilled workers were needed. So Industrial Revolution reshaped both economy and people’s
lifestyle in Europe.
How did the Industrial Revolution reshape economies and societies across Europe in the 18th century?
