Content: This period in Western history is considered one of the major forces of historical change. Not only did industrialization lead to a machine-based modern society, but it changed Europe's economy from agriculture to wage-labor and money exchange. The horrible conditions in early industrial factories and cities caused many hardships for new workers. Epidemics, unregulated workplaces and unsanitary living conditions caused the death of many urban workers. In response, many people took up the cause of reform. Through tireless efforts, the conditions of workers continued to improve. Learning Outcomes
