What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1Historians disagree about whether the Industrial Revolution mainly improved or worsened ordinary people's lives, since wages rose over time but early conditions were often brutal.
  • 2Sources such as factory inspectors' reports, parliamentary inquiries and workers' testimonies must be judged for their purpose, reliability and how typical they are.
  • 3Reform came gradually and unevenly: some employers improved conditions voluntarily, while most change resulted from campaigning, public pressure and new laws.
  • 4The significance of events like the 1848 cholera outbreak lies in how they forced governments to act, even though earlier warnings had often been ignored.
