It included the introduction and growth of new ideologies introduced by Darwin. These ideas were destined to change Europe and the rest of the world forever. The Industrial revolution, equally as significant, provided the beginnings of great inventions such as: the steam engine, the train, and the mass production of textiles. Many cities began to modernize and transform, during the ninteenth century, into the great cities of modern Europe. Haussmann was responsible for the renovation of the old Paris, into the one you know today.

He is credited with the reorganization and design of Paris in the period between 1853-1870 under the rule of Napoleon III which transformed it from a medieval city into a prominent capital. The nineteenth century was a period of rapid industrialization in Europe. In order for France to keep up with technological advancements, Napoleon III gave the task of renovating Paris to Haussmann. Although France lost the Crimean War, domestic improvements made by Haussmann during the late 19th century gave rise to France as a superpower.

He went on a journey on the H.M.S. Beagle around the world to study different typeds of animals, and he developed his theory of evolution. He sparked a movement that became widely known throughout Europe and the rest of the world when he published his //Origin of Species//. This book provided his basis for his "survival of the fittest" and evolution ideologies. These influenced many people throughout Europe and continue to do so today.

The source for these workers, children, was easily found as poor families needed to find ways to bring in more income for their families. These children worked long hours, someties up to fourteen hours a day, and were treated harshly. Many were beaten and physically abused. This was seen as not acceptable and thus, factory acts were drawn up to stop this atrocity. Many of these factory acts were successful, and led to significant improvements. These included the Factory Act which decreased the hours a child could work and the Factory Act of 1891, which made the youngest age a child could work, eleven years old.
