TARIFFS AND TRADEDisease: Poor living and working conditions; epidemics of typhoid and cholera; tuberculosis.Attempts to improve conditions: e.g. Board of Health set up in Britain in 1842; in Britain, France and Germany rich people were reluctant to pay for improving the conditions of the poor; by 1900, sewage systems and fresh water supplies led to improvements.Diets: rich had varied diet; poor rarely ate meat and survived on cheap foods such as potatoes; lack of vitamins led to diseases (e.g. rickets).

RELIGIONImportance pre-1800: Church and religion had been focal point for society.Religious beliefs: challenged by scientific discoveries, capitalism, Marxism.Religious movements: not many churches in industrial towns; in Britain, this led to the rise of protestant groups (e.g. Methodists) working outside the Church of England.Church attendance: in Britain, less than 50% attended church regularly by 1851.Church views: in Britain, France and Germany, some religious thinkers criticised industrialisation because it was driven by greed and increased gap between rich and poor; Catholic Church came to terms with industrialisation after 1878.
