In this video Heimler reviews various and sundry different reactions to the spread of industrialization. A major bout of resistance came from the factory workers themselves. After years of dangerous working conditions and squalid tenement living, they began to organize themselves into labor unions in order to fight for their rights as workers.
In the Ottoman Empire the Tanzimat reforms made gains in industrializing the empire. However, with the rise of Sultan Abdul Hamid, many of the reforms were stunted. Partly this was because groups like the Young Turks agitated for more reform than Hamid was comfortable with. Additionally he silenced the call from the Armenians for reform by persecuting them.
In the Qing Dynasty, the fires of reform were lit after their defeat in the Sino-Japanese conflict. Conservatives like Dowager Cixi opposed such reforms, especially the rejection of the ancient Civil Service Examination.
