The Industrial Revolution had transformed the social structure of cities, and the rise of the bourgeoisie generated conflicts in the struggle for power.

However, this change also brought contradictions that would pave the way for later conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eTo increase productivity, employers sought ways to link workers' earnings to performance, imposing exhausting working conditions, maintained by the abundance of labor.
