Answer:
The 1830s brought severe economic hardship in Europe due to:
- Rapid population growth caused a scarcity of jobs and few employment opportunities.
- Rural populations migrated to overcrowded cities, living in poor conditions.
- Small producers faced competition from cheap machine-made goods from England.
- In regions with strong aristocracy, peasants suffered under heavy feudal dues and taxes.
- High food prices or bad harvests worsened the suffering of common people.
