Factories were being built so businesses were in need of workers

The changes in British manufacturing spread across Europe and America, replacing traditional rural lifestyles as people migrated to cities in search of work. Men, women and children worked in the new factories operating machines that spun and wove cloth, or made pottery, paper and glass.

The Industrial Revolution's impact was strongest and most immediate in the textile industry, as factories sprang up all over Britain to produce goods of cotton, wool, flax, silk and lace for sale in Britain and its overseas colonies. Factory workers operated spinning equipment such as the spinning jenny, water frame and spinning mule, or weaving equipment like the power loom. Factories could run up to 24 hours a day, six days a week, and a typical shift was 10 to 14 hours. Automated equipment with moving parts was inherently dangerous, but workers usually received no compensation if injured.

Since factories had working shifts of 10 and 14 hours, a lot of workforce was required to cover the labor demand, and people started to migrate from rural zones to cities in search of work and better opportunities.The economy was based on production and demand, so factories increased production with 24 working hours a day, demanding more and more workforce.

What were the main religions of Asia and what did they believe in? Asia and what did they believe in?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Three main religions in Asia are Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam

Explanation:

Hindus follow the samsara (continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth) and karma teachings (the universal rule of cause and effect). The concept in the "atman," or soul, is one of Hinduism's central ideas. According to this belief, all living things have a soul and are a portion of the ultimate soul.

The Buddha's precepts are only intended to free sentient creatures from misery. The Three Universal Certainties, The Four Great Truths, and The Golden Eightfold Path are also the Buddha's Fundamental Scriptures that are central to Buddhist.

Monotheism is Islam's fundamental theme. The Islamic faith is founded on the belief in monotheism. Muslims consider that God brought all of the Prophets to humankind with the same core message, which was monotheism.
