WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
- The Industrial Revolution was the transition from creating
goods by hand to using machines.
WHO ARE THE KEY FIGURES IN THE REVOLUTION?
- The key figures involved in this revolution are James Watt, Eli
Whitney, Robert Fulton, Elias Hower, Isaac Singer, Cyrus Field,
Alexander Grahambell, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla, Rudold Diesel
and Henry Ford.
 How did the revolution advance modern science and
scientific thinking at the time?
The Industrial Revolution had further important effect on the
development of modern science. The prospect of applying science to the
problems of industry served to stimulate public support for science.
The main features involved in the Industrial Revolution were technological,
socioeconomic, and cultural. The technological changes included the
following:
● The use of new basic materials, chiefly iron and steel.
● The use of new energy sources, including both fuels and motive power,
such as coal, the steam engine, electricity, petroleum, and the internal-
combustion engine.
● The invention of new machines, such as the spinning jenny and the power
loom that permitted increased production with a smaller expenditure of
human energy.
● a new organization of work known as the factory system, which entailed
increased division of labour and specialization of function.
● Important developments in transportation and communication, including
the steam locomotive, steamship, automobile, airplane, telegraph, and radio,
and
● The increasing application of science to industry. These technological
changes made possible a tremendously increased use of natural resources
and the mass production of manufactured goods.
WHAT CONTROVERSIES MET THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION?
- There are several main causes of the Industrial Revolution. The first main
cause was the emergence of capitalism as an economic theory, since it helped
wealthy individuals to start their own businesses. The next major cause was
the expansion of European imperialism around the world. By taking over
other areas of the world, European countries gained access to important
resources and created large markets in which they could sell goods produced
in their factories. Finally, the last cause of the Industrial Revolution was the
effects of the Agricultural Revolution. The revolution led to an increase in
food production and helped increase the population on European societies. As
a result, this created a large workforce for use in industrial towns and cities.
 In conclusion, The Industrial Revolution brought about
sweeping changes in economic and social organization. These
changes included a wider distribution of wealth and increased
international trade. The Industrial Revolution transformed
economies that had been based on agriculture and handicrafts into
economies based on large-scale industry, mechanized
manufacturing, and the factory system. New machines, new
power sources, and new ways of organizing work made existing
industries more productive and efficient.
