Equal pay and working conditions compared to men, particularly in textile mills

A dramatic reduction in factory work, as women moved into managerial and administrative roles

An equal share of industrial jobs in both skilled and unskilled labor sectors

A concentration of women in white-collar office jobs as factory labor became more male-dominated

The rise of factory systems during the Industrial Revolution contributed to the creation of:

A larger, working-class urban population that became the foundation for industrial capitalism

The relative lack of financial capital and investment in industrial ventures in many countries outside of Britain

Widespread political stability and centralized governments that supported industrialization across all of Europe

The lack of technological innovation in sectors like textiles, coal, and iron, which were essential for industrial production

The active opposition of the working class, which rejected industrialization in favor of agricultural economies

The universal acceptance of laissez-faire economic policies that hindered industrial development in more centralized, state-run economies

One effect of the Consumer Revolution in Europe was:

A decrease in the availability of consumer goods, as industrial production was unable to meet the growing demand

A growth in artisan production, with handmade goods becoming more desirable to a growing middle class

A shift from domestic manufacturing to mass production of goods, which led to the decline of urban markets

The expansion of international trade in luxury goods, which replaced domestic industries and led to economic isolationism

Which of the following best characterizes the impact of industrialization on transportation systems in 19th-century Europe?

Industrialization led to a decline in transportation infrastructure as demand for mass-produced goods decreased

The primary focus of transportation was limited to rural agricultural products, which led to the isolation of industrialized regions

Transportation networks became more reliant on horse-drawn carts and wagons as an alternative to steam-powered vehicles

The growth of transportation systems led to the elimination of international trade due to the increased cost of transnational shipping

High tariffs on manufactured goods to encourage domestic production over imports

The establishment of socialist economic policies to support workers in factory settings

State-sponsored monopolies in key industrial sectors to control competition and improve profits

The spread of industrialization in countries such as Russia faced challenges due to:

A lack of technological innovation and skilled labor, and the persistence of an agricultural economy based on serfdom, which hindered industrial development

The widespread use of mechanized agriculture that reduced the need for industrial labor

A surplus of available capital and investment, which led to rapid industrial growth in the early stages

The formation of strong labor unions that rejected industrialization in favor of agrarian economies

A stable, centralized government structure that heavily supported industrial development across the Russian Empire

The formation of labor unions during the 19th century was significant because it:

Helped secure better working conditions, higher wages, and shorter working hours for industrial workers, despite strong resistance from employers

Led to the establishment of national wage laws and the protection of factory owners’ interests

Led to the abolition of industrial factories in favor of small, family-owned businesses

Focused solely on promoting education for the industrial workforce, rather than addressing labor conditions or wages

Was universally accepted by industrialists and factory owners, who saw it as a way to stabilize the workforce

Karl Marx’s theory of historical materialism proposed that:

Class struggles between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (working class) would eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of socialism

The evolution of human societies was driven primarily by intellectual progress and ideas, rather than economic factors

Social progress would occur through gradual reform, with the peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism

Economic structures would remain stable over time, and capitalism would eventually lead to the universal prosperity of all classes

Class struggle would be eliminated through voluntary cooperation, rendering both capitalism and socialism unnecessary

In response to the industrialization of society, some social reformers proposed:

Utopian socialism and the creation of ideal communities that sought to distribute resources and power equally among all members

The complete abolition of industrial factories and a return to agrarian-based economies

The adoption of laissez-faire policies that would remove government interference in industry and trade

Strict regulation of factory production and wages, but without reforms to improve the lives of the working class

In Russia, industrialization faced significant barriers due to:

The persistence of serfdom and a highly rural, agrarian economy, which prevented the development of an industrial workforce

The presence of large-scale, skilled labor unions that successfully resisted factory work

The widespread availability of modern technological infrastructure and an emerging capitalist economy

The strong industrial base built around coal and iron that spurred technological growth in Russian cities

The influence of capitalist economic policies in the Russian Empire that promoted industrial growth at the expense of agriculture

The rise of the middle class during the Industrial Revolution in Britain was largely due to:

The accumulation of wealth by industrialists, entrepreneurs, and professionals, leading to the expansion of the bourgeoisie class

The success of factory workers in negotiating high wages and benefits, which allowed them to climb the social ladder

The decline of aristocratic power and land-based wealth, which allowed the middle class to gain political influence

The collapse of agricultural production, which led to the displacement of many workers into industrial jobs

The widespread expansion of government-sponsored education and employment programs that uplifted the working class

The spread of industrialization in Europe led to:

The growth of new economic theories such as Marxism and socialism, which challenged the existing capitalist order and proposed alternative social structures

A decrease in the number of labor unions, as factory work became less desirable and workers sought agricultural jobs

A stable and unchanging class structure, as the traditional aristocracy maintained control over both land and industry

A decline in international trade as European nations turned inward to focus on domestic industrial output

Minimal government intervention in business and trade, allowing market forces such as supply and demand to regulate prices and production

A strong, centralized government that would control all aspects of economic activity in order to regulate industrial output

The establishment of a planned economy in which the state would determine production levels and wages
