उत्तर
The Industrial Revolution had a profound effect on society, economy, and polity.
- The Industrial Revolution resulted in mass production of a variety of goods which had to be exported overseas. This led to the acquisition of colonies in Asia and Africa.
- Industrialisation resulted in urbanisation. A large part of the rural population shifted to cities which became very crowded. This led to problems of housing, the rise of slums, and problems of health and sanitation.
- The Industrial Revolution brought countries and people together.
- This led to the socio-economic polarisation of people. Two classes of people emerged – the capitalists and workers. This led to a hunger for more and more wealth among capitalists, exploitation of workers, and shocking social inequalities.
