Also, new types of transportation like the steamships, trains and automobiles brought safer and faster traveling. The Industrial Revolution was a time that encouraged change, but that change was not always a good one. The period of rapid industrial growth during the 1800s and…

about how lack of communication, tension in the ranks, lack of compromise and actual knowledge about what the Soviets were creating ended up failing. The goal was to build an iron and steel factory that would play a vital role in boosting the economy. A city would also be developed to house the workers of the factory. Kotkin tells us about the grand plan for the city but due to confrontation and lack of money, never came to fruition. We learn about the squalor that the Soviet workers had to live…

throughout Europe, steadily increased as small farmers flooded into cities in search of work. Peasants who once worked long hours on farms, now worked long factory hours. This increase in labor lead to more efficient manufacturing, which in turn lead to an increase in national wealth (3). This surge of laborers willing to work helped expand factories as more work was now available for the average individual. Industries heightened creating even more jobs, furthering the effects of…

The Second Industrial Revolution is also known as Technological Revolution. It was a time for machines and other factories to improve and to further advance if they were already developed (Wikipedia). The second Industrial Revolution occurred between the times of 1870 and 1914. I also learned from this source that the use of Iron and Steel had a big role in the building of railroads. However, this was not the only thing these were used for in fact, Steel started to become the main resource used…

But this is where one of the greatest downfalls of the steam engine comes in. The steam engine was so successful that factory owners were realizing it didn’t need such large workforce anymore. The steam engine was one of the most economically important inventions of all time. “The steam engine essentially created the Industrial Revolution. It did this in at least two ways. First, it provided the power for huge textile mills in England. Second, it helped allow the mining of coal from places…

Our world as we know it is a result of the Industrial Revolution. As the rise of factories, machines and other technologies began in Britain in the 18th century, it brought with it huge advances in society. The Industrial Revolution kicked off the beginning to a forward movement of technology in our world that would not be slowed down. To put it in perspective: writing has been around for 200 generations, books have been around for 20 generations and computers have only been around for less than…
