How has the way of life of people changed?

In modern times, an industrial revolution took place. The social structure has changed: in many states, instead of feudal relations, new ones have arisen. Technological progress has gradually become a key factor in life. People began to strive for individual progress and the role of religion became less and less important. In world relations, colonial possessions and trade spread. Bourgeois revolutions led to the flourishing of capitalist relations and the market economy. The period ended with a crisis of overproduction.
