Question

Established during the Middle Ages, guilds were associations of skilled artisans designed to institute quality standards, establish training programs, and set prices in industries such as glassblowing or masonry. What most likely happened to the guild system following industrialization?

Answer 1

Guild crafts became industrialized and were broken down to their individual components as small workshops were replaced by factories and assembly lines. Apprentices who worked for years to master a craft now would just need to learn an assembly step.
