The era in history marked by significant upheaval and calls for reform from the working class is known as the Industrial Revolution. Beginning in the late 18th century, this period saw rapid technological advancements and economic changes, transitioning societies from agrarian to industrialized economies. As factories emerged, workers faced harsh conditions, leading to widespread discontent and advocacy for labor reforms. Movements for workers' rights, including calls for fair wages and better working conditions, gained momentum, significantly influencing social and political landscapes and ultimately leading to the establishment of labor laws and social protections.
