The Industrial Revolution was the major technological, socioeconomic and cultural change in late 18th and early 19th century that began in Britain and spread throughout the world. During that time, an economy based on manual labour was replaced by one dominated by industry and the manufacture of machinery. It began with the mechanisation of the textile industries and the development of iron-making techniques, and trade expansion was enabled by the introduction of canals, improved roads and then railways. The introduction of steam power (fuelled primarily by coal) and powered machinery (mainly in textile manufacturing) underpinned the dramatic increases in production capacity.[1] The development of all-metal machine tools in the first two decades of the 19th century facilitated the manufacture of more production machines for manufacturing in other industries.

The period of time covered by the Industrial Revolution varies with different historians. Eric Hobsbawm held that it 'broke out' in the 1780s and wasn't fully felt until the 1830s or 1840s[2], while T.S. Ashton held that it occurred roughly between 1760 and 1830 (in effect the reigns of George III, The Regency, and George IV)[3].

The effects spread throughout Western Europe and North America during the 19th century, eventually affecting most of the world. The impact of this change on society was enormous and is often compared to the Neolithic revolution, when various human subgroups embraced agriculture and in the process, forswore the nomadic lifestyle[4].

The first Industrial Revolution merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850, when technological and economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam-powered ships and railways, and later in the nineteenth century with the internal combustion engine and electrical power generation. At the turn of the century, innovator Henry Ford, father of the assembly line, stated, "There is but one rule for the industrialist, and that is: Make the highest quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible."

It has been argued that GDP per capita was much more stable and progressed at a much slower rate until the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the modern capitalist economy, and that it has since increased rapidly in capitalist countries.[5]

Answer 3

the commercial Revolution in US - component to the 2d commercial Revolution - did not start up until after the civil conflict became over. maximum folk in US in the previous the civil conflict lived and worked on the land.The Southern states - just about a million/3 of the inhabitants - lived in an just about fullyyt agrarian society with an agrarian agriculture.many of the inhabitants of the North additionally lived and worked on the land on the time;the reality that the North outproduced the South in each and every agricultural classification different than cotton is passable evidence of this. So,no commercial Revolution in u . s . a . until the previous due 1860s,or maybe then it became led to with the help of the introduction of the Bessemer technique for metallic production,and not the cotton gin.

Answer 4

well, it started in Europe i'm thinking in the 1800's. (it's been a few years since world history) it was a time that inventions were making a huge change. factories gave jobs to many people mainly children but the hours were long and grueling. that's actually what inspired to pass a law against underage working and setting a maximum hours in a workday. if that makes sense. people came from the country to get jobs in the city.
