What was the strong demand of the emerging middle classes in Europe during nineteen century
Answers
The origins of the middle classes have been debated for decades and have been ascribed to many periods of time. Indeed, as far back as the 17th and 18th centuries, there were sections of society that were neither part of the aristocracy nor part of the poor lower classes. The phenomenal rise in the number of middle-class households, however, as well as the influence they exerted, is undoubtedly a characteristic of Victorian England.
As the industrial revolution gained momentum in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it gave rise to a group of wealthy, educated and important men. Despite their prominence, however, the political and religious orders of the day meant that for the most part, these men had little or no say on the public life of the nation. A situation they ultimately helped to overturn.
