it’s only 9 here on the West Coast

FIRST I.R.
Causes: Agricultural Revolution freed up peasants which meant greater workforce, excess capital to invest, govt was open to private enterprise
Impact: Greater transportation, iron so better buildings I guess but exploitation of workers and deteriorating environment, many rural people migrated to the cities

SECOND
Causes: I’ll think about this
Impact: Electricity, new knowledge about chemicals, steel as a replacement for iron, continuing migration of population to urban areas

Next question (i’m stumped on this one): “The essential cause of the French Revolution was the collision between a powerful, rising bourgeoisie and an etnrenched aristocracy defending its privileges.” Assess the validity of this statement as an explanation of the events leading up to the French Revolution of 1789
