The first industrial revolution
start
When?
Where?
It began in England, then in Belgium and later spread to the rest of Europe and the United States; It mainly concerned the textile and metallurgic production sector.
The first industrial revolution took place from 1780 to 1830, a period in wich agriculture was overtaken by industry and consequently most of the peasants became workers.

The causes
The causes of the revolution were the abundance of mineral sources, population growth, the development of transport, capital for industry, financial stability and the agricultural revolution.

New scientific discoveries
Production became faster and easier thanks to new scientific discoveries aimed at putting in place new, more efficient machinery powered by the invention of the steam engine, an invention that changed the way goods were produced. It was invented in 1769 by James Watt in Glasgow; He used steam as its driving force, produced by burning coal. It allowed the mechanization of industrial labor.
It was used in different sectors: in the transport sector there was the advent of railways and steamboat; in that of agriculture there was the introduction of agricultural machinery; in mining, steam engines introduced air into the mines and drained the wells; In industry the first sector was textiles.
THe consequences
The consequences of the first revolution were: the development of areas previously sparsely inhabited by the need to have water and coal; the industrial landscape was born (eg Birmingham, from 200 to 200,000 inhab. in the mid-nineteenth century); Capitalism, the working class and many women and children were forced to work.
