where did the industrial revolution occur?Why?Just tell what site You got it from.?

Answer 1

It started in England, but quickly moved to the northeastern region of the USA ('cause we're all about increasing wealth, convenience & staying on top of technology) and other parts of the world.

Good luck on your homework.

Answer 2

The industrial revolution occurred almost all throughout Western Europe. It didn't HAVE to occur it involuntarily occurred. This is off the top of my head.

Answer 3

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.[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, 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.

definition of a revolution: 1 a (1) : the action by a celestial body of going round in an orbit or elliptical course; also : apparent movement of such a body round the earth (2) : the time taken by a celestial body to make a complete round in its orbit (3) : the rotation of a celestial body on its axis b : completion of a course (as of years); also : the period made by the regular succession of a measure of time or by a succession of similar events c (1) : a progressive motion of a body around an axis so that any line of the body parallel to the axis returns to its initial position while remaining parallel to the axis in transit and usually at a constant distance from it (2) : motion of any figure about a center or axis

Answer 4

The Industral revolution occured in the 1700's Shortly after Adam
Smiths writing "the wealth of nations''

Calling it a revolution however is inherently incorrect as proclaimed by our prof. A revolution is planned, i.e. the french revolution. Or what chaiman mao did in China agains the red army.

Northern France is where it supposedly began

Answer 5

It started in Great Britain in the late 18th Century - Early 19th Century ( 1750 -- 1830) BECAUSE the ECONOMY came to be dominated by INDUSTRIES & MACHINERIES replacing the Manual LABOR.

Answer 6

It started in Britain and spread all over the place particullary in the US and Canada.

It was caused by an influx of new technologies taking the place of manual labor, improving roads, creating canals and more.

Hope that helps.

Answer 7

It occurred in England as people realised for the first time that they could make money out of scientific advances.
