DEFINITION OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The industrial revolution was a process of economic evolution and industrialization of society that from agricultural-craft-commercial system became a modern industrial system characterized by the widespread use of machines powered by mechanical energy and the use of new inanimate energy sources. All this is supported by a strong component of technological innovation and accompanied by phenomena of growth, economic development and profound socio-cultural and also political changes.
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION BEGAN FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS:
- Great Britain had great sources of coal and iron, had a great empire from which to obtain raw materials, had a large number of successful inventors, for example, John Kay; had a ready to use workforce, thanks to the agricultural revolution,was a stable country and a good place to do business.Later the technological devolpments in spinning and weaving made factories necessary; this meant the end of the craft industry.
The industrial revolution occurred around 1780, in England first in Belgium and then in Europe and the United States
This historical period, very important, changes the way of producing using the steam engine.
STEAM ENGINE
The steam engine was invented by James Watt in 1769. This was used as a power of steam, produced by burning steam and allows the industry to mechanize work.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
One of the first consequences of the revolution was the increase of the population that began to concentrate in the cities: this meant that around the factories were born real unhealthy and overcrowded neighborhoods where the hygienic conditions were precarious (without running water and sewerage) and the density of population favored the spread of epidemic diseases such as smallpox, cholera and tuberculosis.
The breakthrough and the new factory laws.
Luddites began attacking factories and destroying new machinery to protest against poor working and, above all, living conditions. This led to the deportation of the Luddites to Australia and some of them were hanged.
