The Agrarian and Industrial Revolutions brought about many social changes, an important one being a population growth resulting in a population movement. ...
Included in the effects of the Agrarian and Industrial Revolutions was a total restructuring of society at the time. ... These somewhat economical effects in turn created social changes in that Britain became a land of smaller allotments and fewer, larger farms and started to use much more modern farming equipment instead of agricultural labour. ... Society changed from a small class of nobility, merchants, bankers and craftsmen, and a huge majority of peasants into two new classes, the industrial bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
