Introduction: When Napoleon III ruled France from 1848 to 1870, France underwent rapid economic growth because of the Industrial Revolution and Napoleon III’s involvement in this revolution. Napoleon III modernized France by building railroads, canals, and banking institutions. This helped centralized France’s capital and created a strong unified state, which made France one of the big powers of Europe. Napoleon III, like Napoleon I, wanted to make France the best country in Europe, and so…

During the 1800’s, Americans experienced a revolution in transportation. The Automobile gave Americans a new form of personal transportation.

All of these forms of transportation helped create new opportunities The Industrial Revolution was a revolution because new technologies dramatically changed society and the economy. The subway is one of the products of industrial revolution. In the basic definition,…

Laws on child labor have changed greatly over the years. Around the late 1700’s and early 1800’s- also known as the Industrial Revolution- child labor was common and accepted. However, now a child has to be at least 14 (more commonly 16) in order to work. The importance of education has been amplified since then, which contributed greatly to making the child labor laws more just. During the Industrial Revolution, child labor was extremely common. Child labor was convenient, because children…

people moved to the busy urban cities. The Industrial Revolution created new jobs for operating the machinery in mills and factories. The people who stayed in the countryside usually farmed just enough to provide for them and their families. They had no wages and there were fewer jobs offered on farms. As a result, the new machines and inventions replaced farm laborers. The factories offered more job opportunities and better wages. Both Britain and the America went from an agriculture-based…

The Mechanical Reaper Before the late 1830s, farming was a strenuous and time consuming task. The land had to be broken up with a plow and then seeded. The plow, pulled by oxen or horses, had a sharp blade that cut into the earth and turned over the soil. The farmer had to keep the blade of the plow in the ground and had to be careful not to hit any large rocks, stumps or roots. Next, a harrow, a large rake-like object with rows of teeth, was pulled over the soil to break up the lumps and…

During the turn of the 20th century the Age of Industrialization was taking place. Monopolists rose to power using many methods to gain control. Most of the working class was abused and taken advantage of and they were treated unfairly. Many people immigrated to the US due to persecution, better financial and political opportunities. While America as a whole would eventually benefit from new inventions and labor unions’ protest, monopolists took advantage of the working class. The new…

I’m Angelica Silver. In the Dark Ages a lot of different things were going on, from living life completely by the sword. Government consists of little more than sending our bands or soldiers to collect taxes/tribute. The clergy are already a recognized class in society, but again many of the characteristics found in the medieval Church are not yet around. Communications are very slow and inefficient. Most of the population are peasants, subsistence farmers who make almost all of their food,…

Urbanization is a major part of the cutting edge world, without it, we would all be lost. While nations are developing at a quick rate, the once "old" urban communities of the past are growing onto already un-involved grounds and even in some cases making new towns and urban areas. Rural areas of urban areas spring up everywhere throughout the world constantly, and populaces develop with them. Real territories or urban communities of nations are generally center points of monetary criticalness,…

An industrial revolution occurs when a society develops from one that primarily uses hands and tools to produce, to one that discovers and uses new sources of energy such as coal or electricity to power machines that create the products (Cleary 6). The Industrial Revolution took place around the world in three phases throughout history. The first Industrial Revolution was enacted within the 1770s and 1860s, and the first country ever to take part in an industrial revolution was England (Cleary…

one of the reasons that Parliament started passing a series of Factory Acts. The Act of 1833 banned hiring children under nine years of age, and required at least two hours of schooling for 9 through 18 year olds each day. The Act of 1847 (Ten Hours Act) limited the workday to ten hours. In the mid-to late-19th century, public health improved, and with it life expectancy rose. William Alexander Abram asserted that ”The condition of factory laborers has been vastly improved… far seldomer than…
