Small producersin towns were often faced with stiff competition from imports ofcheap machine-made goods from England, where industrialisationwas more advanced than on the continent. This was especially so intextile production, which was carried out mainly in homes or smallworkshops and was only partly mechanised. In those regions ofEurope where the aristocracy still enjoyed power, peasants struggledunder the burden of feudal dues and obligations.
