Industrial Revolution
Legislation Reform
As conditions in the cities, and jobs plummeted, the people started to feel the urge to force change upon the government. As a whole, the people went on strike, until the government implemented a new set of laws regarding work policies, although many companies did not follow them.

Agricultural Revolution
New ideas about farming, and inventions led to the Agricultural Revolution. Crops and livestock were higher grade, and could be sold for more. There were less jobs because of machinery.
-
England
Had a large history of trade and business. This was because they had a lot of access to water, so they had a lot of transportation, and trade routes. The government funded societies to create inventions.

City Life
More people moved to the cities and it soon became unhealthy from the overpopulation. Sewage was incorporated with the water people drank from, and bathed in.
-
Government Philosophies
The government believed in making women and children work. For example, in coal mines, men did not really work and women and children did all the work, in a very dangerous job. They also believed in Laissez Faire, the philosophy of letting things take their own course without interfering.
-
Factory Life
Very unsafe, most of the workers were kids, and if they didn't work they would be beat. Typically, the factories were not prepared for things like fires, which resulted in deaths. There was also low pay.
-
Inventions
The government had funded societies to create inventions. Farming changes created opportunity for new machines. England did not have enough resources for energy, so inventions such as the steam engine, and the railroad and first train were created.
