Question

What factors contributed to the great economic hardship in 1830 in europe?

Answer 1

➡ There was enormous increase in population all over Europe. In most countries there were more seekers of jobs than employment.

➡ Population from rural areas migrated to the cities to live in overcrowded slums.

➡ Small producers in towns were often faced with stiff competition from imports of cheap machine-made goods from England.

➡ In those regions of Europe where the aristocracy still enjoyed power, peasants struggled under the burden of feudal dues and obligations.

➡ The rise of food prices or a year of bad harvest led to widespread pauperism in town and country.
