Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- I really don't like working on a farm. It would be great if the country could produce enough food with less farmers so we could maybe move to the city. Like an agricultural revolution or something.
- That would be great. Working here is so tedious and time consuming, and we don't even get paid enough to make a good living!
- It happened! The agricultural revolution happened, and now we can finally urbanize. I think I've saved up enough money to start my own manufacturing business as well, now that Britain has adopted a capitalist economy.
- We'll figure it out. My business is gonna go great due to the abundance of natural resources in Britain, so maybe I can turn it into a transnational corporation.
- 5 Years Later...
- 10 Years Later...
- That sounds great, but where will we live in the city? I know it offers increased wages, but in the city there is terrible living conditions. It's all cramped and filthy.
- Oh no, we couldn't find a house to live in. The housing shortage here is crazy!
- London, 1820
- And alongside poverty causing densely populated urban slums, the public health crisis of Cholera in London is getting out of hand!
- We'll have to settle here because we can't find another house. It's close to the manufacturing sites. Maybe you can get a job at a nearby factory. It's becoming more common for women in manufacturing to help provide for the family.
- The air here is so polluted. It must be due to the usage of fossil fuels to power steam engines or other machines. It's better than nothing though.
- Finally, now that I've grown my business into a large joint-stock corporation, we've earned a fortune and are able to afford a better home.
- The industrial revolution really did help. Although it came with its problems such as inefficient infrastructure and crime, it was a net benefit for society.
