Answer 2

Answer:1

As cotton industries developed in England, industrial groups began worrying about imports from other countries.

. They pressurised the government to impose import duties on cotton textiles so that • Manchester goods could sell in Britain, without facing any competition from outside.

. Industrialists persuaded the East India Company to sell British manufactures in Indian markets as well.

. Export of British cotton goods increased dramatically in the early 19th century.

. At the end of the 18th century, there had been virtually no import of cotton piece goods into India but by 1850, cotton piece goods constituted over 31 per cent of the value of Indian imports.

Answer: 2

After the 1840's ie with the coming up of the Industrial Revolution, 80% of the workers moved from the rural areas to urban areas. There was urbanisation during that period due to which the working class benefited the most. Their living conditions improved and there were reduced chances of famines.

With the establishment of more industries, more workers got employment and their standards of living improved drastically.
