Industrialisation and Social Issues
The economy under steam - "Made in Germany" enjoys an immense upswing in the empire. The railway connects the country with Europe. Coal fuels the rise, the steel and electrical industries boom. The population grows rapidly. The empire becomes a leading economic power. Entrepreneurs achieve enormous wealth, and decorative Wilhelminian style districts are springing up in the cities. Yet, the men, women and children of the working class are living in misery. Trade unions organize strikes for better working conditions in the factories. The pressure provides for initial success. Working hours are reduced, social security is introduced and wages rise.
