The Industrial Revolution caused rapid urbanization; the overwhelming demand for workers had masses of people migrate from their farms (villages) to cities.

The revolution had also caused two new social classes to emerge, the "capitalist" and the "proletariat". The capitalists (origin: capital) controlled most of the economic activities, with most of the money in their hand, and had a say in the government. The proletariat (origin: French word) had little money, lived in dirty slums and had no right or say in the government.

There was also middle classes which are less wealthy than capitalist but still lived in good condition. They are mainly doctors, scientists.
