THE FRENCH REVOLUTION RIOTS AND REFORMS
Workers' Life:
The Industrial Revolution brought about profound changes in the lives of workers.
Many left rural areas to seek employment in factories and urban centers.
Factory work was often grueling, with long hours,
low wages, and poor working conditions.
Workers, including children, faced harsh labor conditions, which led to labor movements and the fight for workers' rights.
Urbanization led to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions in rapidly growing cities,
contributing to public health issues.
The development of a wage-based economy changed the traditional relationship between workers and their work,
making labor more detached and regulated.
In the late 18th century, King George III of Britain faced mental health issues due to porphyria.
In 1810, he became unfit to rule, and his son, George IV,
took over as the Prince Regent, leading to the Regency period (1811-1820).
In France, the Enlightenment ideals triggered the 1789 French Revolution,
resulting in the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in 1792.
The revolution inspired poets initially,
but the Reign of Terror in 1793, with mass executions, led to disillusionment.
France declared war on Britain and Holland in 1793,
with a strong land army led by General Napoleon Bonaparte,
who gained power and control over much of Europe by 1797.
However, Britain's naval prowess, exemplified by Admiral Horatio Nelson's victory at Trafalgar in 1805,
countered Napoleon's successes.
The Duke of Wellington later achieved victories in Portugal.
Napoleon's defeat in Russia weakened his rule,
leading to his surrender in 1814.
He briefly returned in the "100 Days" of 1815 but was ultimately defeated by the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo.
. These events had a profound impact on European history during the early 19th century.
