Industrial Revolution and Industrial Civilization Flashcards

The Industrial Revolution was the time period in history when new inventions and laws were created resulting in the technology and advancements that we have today. The Industrial Revolution was supposed to happen in France because of the Napoleonic code and the fact that France was where the first bank was. France had terrible debt problems because of war, so the revolution happened in England instead. The revolution brought with it new ideas and technology, but also bad working conditions and urbanization leading to death and diseases. Child labor was common because of the fact that children worked for less. New ideas emerged and grew popular like capitalism and socialism. These ideas grew more and more popular and are still in use today. The Industrial Revolution soon spread to different parts of the world. The Industrial Revolution had lasting effects on the world with its products and machines still being used today.
