    The second industrial revolution began in 1870 and took place in several major countries. It was characterized by the replacement of iron with steel in industry and the shift from steam to electricity. New automatic machines changed communication and transportation. The revolution occurred due to accumulated colonial wealth, the growth of capitalism, increased agricultural output, and other countries' need to produce more efficiently. It brought both new technologies like steel and electricity but also negative effects like long work hours, pollution, and child labor. Cities and populations expanded significantly during this period.
