    The 18th century is called the birth of the industrial revolution because this was when most European nations began innovating, improving, and trading more freely with other nations, including Spain. In the Philippines, a new class of plantation owners emerged growing crops like coffee, abaca, and sugar alongside the existing farms owned by the church and nobility. After the Suez Canal opened in 1869, Philippine exports of sugar and abaca to Europe increased further due to rising European demand for these crops, driven by the industrial revolution.

    1. Why is the 18th century called the birth of the industrial revolution?

    How did this


    affect the life of the natives in our country during that time?
    The 18th century called the birth of the industrial revolution by the time that
    most nations from Europe began to improve, innovate and trade freely with other
    nations, including Spain. A new class emerged as a result of the expansion of
    commercial agriculture. Plantation owners of coffee, abaca, and sugar emerged
    alongside the church's holdings and the pre-Spanish nobility's rice farms. After the
    Suez Canal was finished in 1869, the amount of exports to Europe increased even
    more in response to the rapid growth in demand for sugar and abaca from the
    Philippines.
