Revolutions have made nations stronger. Throughout the years, from the Romans to the recent Syrian Revolution, people have banded together to overthrow oppression and tyranny. A common factor in developing nations is the bond between the citizens as they go through tumultuous times in the heat of an uprising. Usually this bond turns out to the deciding factor in the result of the revolution because they can only depend on each other during these turbulent times. After a successful revolution, the people work together to develop a stable economy and a working system. And soon after, they will have become stronger than before the revolution. An example is the Scientific Revolution. Before the Scientific Revolution the power remained largely …show more content…
Britain’s economy was good, but it wasn 't thriving. Then, a series of inventions brought this economy to exceptional. The steam engine was originally invented in the early 1700’s but it really became useful about 50 years later when James Watt enhanced the idea. Until then it was deemed useless. But it really wasn’t useless. In fact, the idea of using steam and coal was very important in the revolution and it was all because of the steam engine. The Spinning Jenny was invented just before Watt designed the much more efficient steam engine, and the it greatly increased the amount of thread that was produced. Shortly after, James Watt developed an efficient steam engine which led to the common mode of transportation we know today. Based on his idea, steamboats were also invented, allowing for longer transport across large bodies of water. Around this time, many factories were being built because they were able to hold many machines at once and increase the economy. This also opened up many jobs for unemployed people. The factories incorporated the dangerous but efficient Flying Shuttle invention. Although they were prone to break down, these machines sped up the time that it took to weave. As a result, the nation was stronger as a whole after the revolution than before, because all the advances made the nation a much more stronger, advanced, and smarter
The steam engine was used in a variety of different things like factories, ships, and trains. Due to the steam engine, people were able to travel quicker and cheaper on ships and trains which improved life overall. Knight, as the author of “The Working Man’s Companion” wrote about the comforts and convenience brought by the Industrial Revolution because he wanted workers to realize that because of the Industrial Revolution, their life was improved and there was no need for political
Although, horrible labor, living conditions, and pollution were some of the negative consequences we had to deal with, those problems were letter resolve in the future. Those were just a few items we had to dealt with in the past, but our inventions, railroads, and urbanization continues to this day. Those positive attributes made our country how it is today. Advancing our technology, transportation, and living situations. The industrial revolution will always have a lasting effect on our lives today and forever
Many common items which we take for granted were made during the industrial revolution. These inventions also tell us about what was needed in those times. Telegraphs were more efficient than sending letters, but had to be restricted to a few words and could get very expensive. The telephone resolved those issues. Now you could do something as simple as pick up the phone and dial, and instantly you would be able to share
The Industrial Revolution created a faster mode of transportation, the Steam Engine. The steam engine positively affected the people in the Industrial Revolution and so did the factories built. The Industrial Revolution, itself, had helped create many new inventions that made farming, writing, and traveling more easier for the people of the revolution. Although many children and factory workers faced many problems, it eventually led to the Factory Acts and the School Sites Acts, some of the greatest outcomes of the Industrial Revolution to have positive effects on the rest of the world. The world would not be better off without the Industrial Revolution because it developed a new and faster mode of transportation and led to the Factory Acts
Later on in the 1730s Scottish engineer James Watt, made improvements and innovations to the steam engine that led to its wide use in industry. “You can travel cheaply from place to place, and not only travel at less expense, but travel ten times quicker…” (Document 9). The availability of faster travel via; trains and ships, opened up new doors for agricultural
Along with the loss of jobs the factories of this time polluted the air and destroyed valuable natural resources. “Numerous new tools and machines were created as a result of the speeding up of technological innovation processes” (Education | National Geographic Society). A great invention made during this time was the steam engine. The steam engine was a machine that used
The transition to machine producing factories changed America completely. The Industrial Revolution and the Lowell system impacted America by creating opportunity for the rise of the working class, an expansion of the workforce, and the achievements of labor unions. The Industrial Revolution gave room for the social emergence of the working class and a new opportunity for self-independence among Americans. Before the Industrial Revolution, people had to be trained in a special field and worked in that field.
Revolutions are beneficial when they are for the common good, like the American Revolution, but they are harmful when it's for selfish reasons, like the Russian Revolution and World War
These resources helped to build parts for the steam engine. The English scientific thought also helped cause the Industrial Revolution. People discovered different ways to things to make the process more efficient. Jethro Tull invented the Horse drawn seed drill which planted seeds in straight rows with significantly less labor (Document 7).
The industrialization of Great Britain led the world to modern technology because of all of their ample amount of natural resources and political stability. With multiple entrepreneurs looking for new factories and capital to invest in those factories, they continued to show the world they were the leaders in urbanization at that time. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of modernized machines, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were child labor, separated families, and bad quality of life.
Steam Locomotive Impact on American Industrial Revolution Imagine a world where the fastest means of transportation is riding horseback. Without the steam locomotive, that's how life would be. The steam locomotive is a steam train that revolutionized transportation on railways. Despite originating in Britain, railways made a lasting impact in America. The steam locomotive was a major part in the American industrial revolution making transportation easier, cheaper, and faster.
Coal fuelled the steam engine, and the production of iron and steel took the world out of the biological old regime. Steam was also heavily utilized with characters like Newcomen and Watts in the 18th century creating steam engines to power steam machines, steam boats, and steam trains. The steam engine revolutionized transportation forever as well as the production of common goods like textiles. However, such a vast source of wealth was abused, hundreds of factories were made, and twelve million people (around six million were women and children) were working in these textile
Coal commonly was found near water, and therefore could be easily transported to London, where it was sold for much cheaper than other countries. This source of energy, which was three times as efficient as traditional wood fuel, sparked invention and innovation, as people discovered that its energy could be harnessed and controlled for efficient and money-saving industrial use. This promise of profit enticed many inventors and investors to place time and energy into the production of machines which could efficiently pump the water out of deep coal mines, a problem which plagued the era of strictly manual labor. This race to find the best mechanical way to mine deep coal served as a precursor to the later Industrial Revolution, as people were truly driven to improve industry. Coal also sparked the creation of the steam engine, commonly seen as a pivotal point in Britains industrial history which allowed for rapidly increasing efficiency and lower prices of
The invention of steam power was one of the most important inventions that impacted the industrial revolution. In 1698 a British military engineer named Thomas Savery invented the first steam powered machine when put to the task of figuring out a way to pump the water out of the coal mines. The first steam pump was able to function through boiling water allowing it to convert into vapour (steam) which was then collected in a tank which creates a kind of suction. This vapour/steam then rotates a turbine allowing the pump to create enough energy to pump water out of the coal mines and then bigger things such as locomotives.
The Industrial Revolution began over 200 years ago. It changed the way in which many products, including cloth and textiles, were manufactured. It is called a "revolution" because the changes it caused were great and sudden. It greatly affected the way people lived and worked. This revolution helped to bring about the modern world we know today in many ways.
