Answer 2

OK, six lines each or less:
American Revolution - the Brits had 13 colonies along the east coast of N. America. There was a lot of argument about how they should be governed, taxes, etc. so in 1775 the Americans started fighting the Brits. The war lasted a few years and eventually the Brits gave up and let the Yanks go their own way. George Washington was the main Yank general and first President.
French Revolution - France was pretty rich and powerful, but a bunch of antiquated laws left over from the middle ages really messed up the economy. A lot of people were left out and starving. In 1789 they revolted and eventually started the "reign of terror" that chopped off a lot of heads, including the King.
Industrial Revolution- before about 1710 there were no real steam engines and very little iron was manufactured. From then on people learned how to make much larger amounts of iron, started improving steam engines, dug a lot of coal, improved factories and manufacturing. By about 1825 or so life had changed a lot - there were railroads and steamships and lots of factories.

Answer 3

The American Revolution was the American colonies' fight for independence from England. The colonies delcared their independence from England with the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776. That's why we celebrate the fourth of July. The revolution's open hostilities began in 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The revolution ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, which granted the US it's independence.

The French Revolution was a much more complicated affair. In a nutshell it was it was the French common people overthrowing rule by the French royalty and esablishing a democratic republic. It is usually said to have begun in 1788 when crop failures created a famine and starving peasants began to revolt. This lead, eventually, to the execution of King Louis XVI in January 1793, followed by constitutional democracy and later by the crowning of Napoleon I as emperor in December 1804.

The Industrial Revolution took place in the Soviet Union in the summer of 1974. It was a battle between the Russian army and the first sophisticated man made robots ever built. The robots were intended to be used in combat, presumably against America. They were programmed to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Some say the robots developed consciousness and revolted against their makers. Others say it is more likely their programming simply went haywire and they began attacking targets radomly. In any case, the Soviets were forced to destroy the robots, along with the factory where they were constructed, with a small thermonuclear bomb. This happened in the remote Eastern Siberian village of Komsk and the details are still classified top secret by the Russians, so we may never no the truth. This is the real life event that inspired The Terminator.

Answer 4

Try typing into your search engine - your level of schooling eg GCSE and the Industrial Revolution or other search topic.

The French Revolution brought about great changes in the society and government of France. The revolution, which lasted from 1789 to 1799, also had far-reaching effects on the rest of Europe. It introduced democratic ideals to France but did not make the nation a democracy...

I have attached a nice link below. Good Luck

Answer 5

Try wikipedia, but don't quote it for a school project. Instead, try following the citations there. Check out some examples:

American Revolution:
The American Revolution was a political movement that ended British control of the south-eastern coastal area of North America, resulting in the formation of the United States of America in 1776 and sparking the American Revolutionary War.

The Revolution also involved a series of broad intellectual and social shifts that occurred in American society as new republican ideals took hold in the population. In some states (especially Pennsylvania), sharp political debates broke out over the role that democracy should play in government. The American shift to republicanism and gradually expanding democracy was an upheaval of the traditional social hierarchy; the new republican ethic formed the core of American political values.

Most historians agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763, when Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the Revolution is usually marked by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, with the recognition of the United States as an independent nation. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretch to 1789, when the new national government under George Washington began operating.

Interpretations about the effect of the revolution vary. At one end of the spectrum is the older view that the American Revolution was not "revolutionary" at all, that it did not radically transform colonial society but simply replaced a distant government with a local one. The more recent view pioneered by historians such as Bernard Bailyn, Gordon Wood and Edmund Morgan is that the American Revolution was a unique and radical event, based on an increasing belief in republicanism that produced deep changes that had a profound impact on world affairs.

French Revolution:
The French Revolution (1789–1799) was a pivotal period in the history of French, European and Western civilization. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the country's Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo a radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état, the Revolution is widely seen as a major turning point in the history of Western democracy—from the age of absolutism and aristocracy, to the age of the citizenry as the dominant political force.

The slogan of the French Revolution was "Liberté, égalité, fraternité, ou la mort!" ("Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death!"). This slogan outlived the revolution, later becoming the rallying cry of activists, both militant and non-violent, who promote democracy or overthrow of oppressive governments.

Industrial Revolution:
The Industrial Revolution was the major technological, socioeconomic and cultural change in the 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. 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, 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).

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.

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.

There is a lot of information available on all three of these subjects. Here's a great tip; ask your local librarian.

Answer 6

you got a lot of info from people that's good .... my 60 second version goes like this...... french peasants are revolting and kill the rich so they can get their power and wealth... American revolution they wanted the British out because we taxed them till it squeaked Boston tea party etc... industrial revolution was when machines did the job of 20 people and there was already great poverty among weavers etc, but slowly there was more jobs as demand eased when prices dropped ( less bloodshed than the other 2 revolutions).
