From: The History of Montréal
$1.40
This chapter explores the changes the city and its people underwent during industrialization, as well as demographic changes and language tensions in the city. Towards the halfway mark of the nineteenth century, Montreal began a new phase in its history, a phase that would transform it into Canada’s biggest industrial centre. Its population and landscape were fashioned by forces unleashed by industrialization, with the repercussions lasting for years to come.
