From about 1760 onwards the population rose steadily throughout Western and Central Europe after a period of relative stability. The reasons for this are not known. The increase continued for a very long time and outstripped increases in agricultural production, leading to severe hardship in many parts of Europe, especially in areas far from the coasts and not on major rivers. The whole process culminated in distress in the 1840s when the situation was exacerbated by poor harvests. In Britain, early industrialization allowed for increased exports of manufactured goods and the import of food. In Britain only, the problem of population outstripping the food supply eased gradually from about 1812 on, thanks to food imports.
