The new factory systems led to a mass production of goods, urbanization, new forms of transportation, terrible working conditions, unions, and new economic ideas like socialism. The growth of industrialization led to an increase in demand for raw materials and a markets to sell goods. The Industrial Revolution brought mass amounts of wealth and new products for consumers.

Europe and North America saw a major increase in population, which, along with an increase in living standards, led to the depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels.
