What were the consequences of hunger and hardship of 1848?
Answers
Answer:
The 19th century were the years of great economic hardship in Europe.
In the 19th century there was an unexpected mass increase of population all over Europe. This meant that unemployment was most likely to happen.
The industrial revolution played a big role in this. Population from rural areas migrated to the cities to live in cramped slums (squalids and overcrowded urban streets inhabited by very poor people.).
Hunger meant that food had more demand. This was an advantage for the barkers especially. Food shortage and widespread unemployment brought the population of Paris out on the roads.
The population fluctuated majorly due to the birth to death ratio.
