'A large city population was thus both a threat and an opportunity'. How? Explain with examples.

Answer»

The assertion 'A large city population was both a threat and an opportunity' means that the state authorities tried their utmost to reduce the possibility of rebellion and spread urban development and progress.

(b) In 1887, also a similar riot occurred. It was brutally suppressed by the police. The incident is known as Bloody Sunday. 

(c) In 1889, the dockworkers in London went on a 12-day strike to gain recognition for dockworkers union. So a large city population was a threat and there was an opportunity for advancement and progress when new laws were passed for their betterment.
