 This revolution has replaced the cottage industry by the factories and Handwork by the machine work.

Q2. Define proto-industrialization? Mention the features of proto industrialization. 
Answer:-

Proto-industrialization means the existence of industries before the factory system.
  Even before factories began to appear in England and Europe, there was large-scale industrial production for the International market. 
 This production was not based on factories, such a phase of industrialization is referred to as proto-industrialization. 

Features:-

1. It was a system which was controlled by the merchants.
2.  It was the centralised system of production under this system.
3.  The work was done by involving whole family.  
4. The workers remained in the countryside and continued to cultivate their small plots.
 5. Within this system, a close relationship developed between the town and countryside. 
6. This proto- industrial system was part of network of commercial exchange. 
7. It was controlled by merchants, and the goods were produced by a vast number of producers within their family farms, not in factories.

Q3. What were trade guilds? 
Answer:- 

These were the associations of producers that trained crafts people, maintained control over production, regulated competition, and prices, and restricted the entry of new people into the trade.

Q4. Why did merchants turn to countryside rather than setting up business in towns?
Answer:- 

1. Merchants supplied money to peasants and artisans, persuading them to produce for an International market.
2.  Demand for goods increased as the European powers had started to sell goods in their acquired colonies.
3.  But merchants could not expand production within towns because urban crafts and trade guilds were very powerful.
4.  Rulers granted different guilds to monopoly right  to  produce and trade in specific products.
5.  It was therefore difficult, for new merchants to set up business in towns, so they turned to countryside.

2.  Cottages and poor peasants,  who had earlier depended on common land for their survival, had to know look for alternative sources of income.
3.  When merchants offered advances to produce goods for them, peasants  households eagerly agreed. 
4. So income from proto-  industrial agencies supplemented their shrinking income from cultivation and raised their standard of living.

Q6. Why did industrialist in 19th century Europe prefer hand labour over machines?
Ans.

1. In Britain, there was no shortage of human labour, so industrialist had no problem of labour shortage.
2.  The other reason was that the typical worker in the mid 19th century was not a machine operator but the traditional craft person and labour.
3.  In many industries that demand for labour was seasonal.
4.  In all such industries where production fluctuated with the season.
5. New technology was expensive, and merchants and industrialists were cautious about using it. 
6.The machines often broke down and repair was costly.

Ans.

1.  More availability of workers:
                               There was abundance of workers in the market than the demand.  This had adverse impact on the lives of workers.
2. Seasonality of work:
                           Seasonality of work in many industries meant long period without work. After the busy season was over, the poor were on the street again. 
3. Lower wages:  
                  Though the wages increased somewhat in the 18th century but the increase was very low as for the welfare of the workers.
4.  Unemployment and poverty:- 
                                       Till mid 19th century, about 10% of the urban population were extremely poor.  During the periods of economics slump The unemployment went up to 35 and 75% in different regions.
