Question

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution (late 1800s - early 1900s), there was a shift from agrarian - based economies to factory - based industrial economies. Factories were located in urban areas, attracting people from rural areas in search of jobs. The Age of Exploration (15th - 17th centuries) was about overseas exploration and colonization. The Colonial Era (varies by region but generally earlier than the late 1800s - early 1900s in the context of urbanization in the Western world) was more about the establishment and governance of colonies, not large - scale urban migration for industrial jobs.
