Europe in the 19th Century
Deforestation is the process of clearing or thinning forests or trees for various purposes, including agriculture, urban development, and industrial activities. This phenomenon became significantly pronounced during the 19th century as industrialization accelerated, leading to profound social and economic consequences. As demand for timber and land increased, large areas of forest were removed, resulting in changes to the landscape, disruptions to ecosystems, and a shift in how societies interacted with their environment.
