The Second Industrial Revolution enabled people to do more, make more, and go faster than ever before. The difference between the Second Industrial Revolution and the First Industrial Revolution is that the First Industrial Revolution was based largely on the material iron which was used to make things such as machine parts, pipes, railroad tracks, and bridges. There was a lot changing in living conditions in cities during the Second Industrial Revolution. The Second Industrial Revolution started in 1875 which employed a new material called steel, urban life and the Industrialization created many problems, workers took measures to improve conditions, technological innovations that improved urban life.
The Second Industrial Revolution
started in 1875 which employed a new material called steel. By the mid-1800s, inventors found ways to produce large quantities of steel. Builders and manufactures chose steel over iron because it was lighter, stronger, and more flexible. Steel was used to make cheap products such as bicycles, buttons, screws, and bolts. Railroads, bridges, and the Eiffel tower were built out of steel. The industrialization created many problems and urban life. During the Second Industrial Revolution the bigger factories led to more people working long hours for minimum wage. There were also growing cities which meant more people living in crowded, dirty tenements. The gap between the rich and the poor seemed to becoming wider and wider. People in the industrialization such as: industrial workers, city-dwellers, and the urban poor cried out for improvement in their working and living conditions. Urban life was also getting worse. Homes were overcrowded tenement buildings in neighborhoods with diseases, filth, and crime. Industrial workers during the industrialization took measures to improve conditions. They formed unions. In these unions they provided ways to improve their wages and their working conditions. The workers also rioted. They would riot against their factory owners for better conditions, wages, and working hours. In the Second Industrial Revolution there were also technological innovations that improved urban life. There were improved ships which took over sail boats. There were also railroads for faster transportation of products. In conclusion, the Second Industrial Revolution enabled people to do more, make more, and go faster than ever before. The industrialization employed a new material called steel. It also created many problems and in the urban life such as diseases and crime. Industrial workers were able to take measures to improve these conditions such as riots and unions. Finally, there were technological innovations that improved urban life.
The Second Industrial Revolution had a wide range outcomes, depending on different kinds of people. For the upper-class, including Captains of Industry and the newly developed leisure class, the majority of the outcomes were positive. The working class, for whom the Industrial revolution ruined many of the things that they once held valuable, and the New Immigrants ultimately were affected with many negative outcomes.
The industrial revolution was in the late 1700s and early 1800s, it started in England and caused mass production. Certain impacts that were short term where the population boom, and urbanization. Most of the population was the working class and they worked in factories and mines and didn’t get a lot of pay. The industrial revolution resulted in the suffering of the working class in the short-term due to the inhuman working conditions and child labor.
America had a huge industrial revolution in the late 1800”s. Many changes happened to our great nation, which factored into this. The evidence clearly shows that advancements in new technology, a large wave of immigrants into our country and new views of our government, helped to promote America’s huge industrial growth from the period of 1860-1900.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s there was a the industrial revolution were huge companies started to rise and people stopped making goods by hand and used machines. With this people did this there was also consequences that came with it. I picked to show you 3 of many problems that had risen in that time era Child Labor, Working Conditions, and Robber Barons.
The Second Industrial Revolution took place between 1870 and 1914, beginning as Ulysses S. Grant entered the presidential office and coming to a close in Woodrow Wilson’s first term. While the (first) Industrial Revolution in America is often considered as one of the most fruitful and dense in innovations in history, the following decades brought innumerable technological advancements, improving the many recently created materials and machines. Scientists made great progress in developing steel, the use of internal combustion engines skyrocketed, networks to transmit electricity were produced for the first time, and the introduction of interchangeable parts revolutionized the system of mass production. During these years, advancements were
The time period a person lives in greatly impacts his actions, thoughts and beliefs. The second Industrial Revolution signifies a time of change, education and reform. The second Industrial Revolution can be dated between 1870 and 1914. When industries emerge and new opportunities are open, mass immigration can be found. The industrial revolution provokes new inventions, factories, transportation, communication, politics, women’s rights and urban life. In the early 1900s, there was segregation and discrimination between races. In addition, during the years between 1914 and 1918, World War One erupted. Between 1929 and 1933, the Great Depression took place and lastly between 1941 and 1945- World War Two occurred.
Introduction The industrial revolution took place between 1750 and 1850 all round the world. In this essay it describes the changes made in Middlesbrough in this period and how the managed to cope with the surge of people coming into Middlesbrough. Everything changed in Middlesbrough in the Industrial Revolution like mining, transport, agriculture and even technology. Population grew at great rate as there was plenty of work and cheap labour was readily available.
The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change and increased efficiency. No more would be goods be produced by sole means of farming and agriculture, but now by the use of machinery and factories. Technology was beginning to increase along with the food supply as well as the population. However, this increase in population would greatly impact the social aspect of that time. Urbanization was becoming much more widespread. Cities were becoming overwhelmingly crowded and there was an increase in disease as well as harsh child labor. Although child labor would be reduced somewhat due to unions, the Industrial Revolution still contained both it’s positive and negative results.
The Civil War left enormous devastation in the countryside and huge losses in the human life. At the same time, it provided the stimulus to the second industrial revolution. The first Industrial Revolution brought on many changes in people 's life. Before the year of 1760 majority of the population lived in rural areas of the country and worked plowing fields, the revolution changed all that and brought many to the cities to work in manufacturing. The Civil War in America put a halt to it and slowed the progression of industrialization.
The Industrial Revolution in Britain’s history is marked as the period of great development that led to the modern era of growth, improved living standards and technology. Moreover, this revolution was not just limited to Britain; it affected the rest of Europe and America in the same positive manner. Due to the Industrial Revolution’s success in many countries, it is now commonly cited as the surest way for a country to develop. In economics, goals of a developed country are high production of goods, high Gross Domestic Product (GDP), low unemployment and sustained growth; during an Industrial Revolution all these are achieved. However, despite the main goal of IR to improve living standards for the population, the actual success when weighed against the social cost is debatable. It is accepted that IR improved the living standards of many; it created a new class, which Marx called the “bourgeoisie”, who had control over wealth, decisions and helped improve the lives of many others. However, many historians view this new class as “rapacious landlords and conscienceless capitalist[s]” [9] who exploited the working class for their own benefit. For a majority of “the working class… ‘Industrial Revolution’ … must have appeared… as a gigantic and cruel experiment, which, insofar as it was affecting their house, their health, their subsistence and their pleasure, was proving a calamitous failure” [9]. Therefore, this group will be examined to determine more general effects of IR on the society.
What better way to understand industry in the United States than the Industrial Revolution (there goes the word “Revolution again) The Industrial Revolution brought many modifications to the organizations that went through the process of industrialization. A portion of the modifications improved society, however, others experienced damage within most of the society. The working class of these societies were the most affected. To the working people of the country of England, they went through tons of hard ache due to industrialization. The agony was not worth the gains of the Industrial Revolution in England from 1780 to 1850, which mainly affected the working class of England. The working class went through awful working and living conditions
The industrial revolution was the most important, which started around the eighteenth century towards the nineteenth century in Europe. This great event was the fastest spreading event in human history. The capacity of economy and population growth was unexpected especially at the areas in which it flourished. The industrial revolution benefited almost everyone around the world and brought about new social classes, large cities and many new innovations including medical discoveries especially in Britain as it based it is scientific innovations on experiments and practical work rather than theories and logic.
The Industrial Revolution refers to the greatly increased output of machine-made goods that began in England in the mid 1700s. Before the Industrial Revolution, people made items by hand. Soon machines did the jobs that people didn’t want to do. This is a more efficient way of making goods. During the industrial revolution, political, economic, and social forces led to a period of upheaval for the French during the eighteenth century.
The second industrial revolution in Europe was a time of unprecedented change. The change in technology, education, and lifestyle had significant influence on social issues. Workers migrated to the cities, traditional family roles changed, and the new middle class gained influence through their buying power. The middle class was changing due to urbanization of the cities and migration
This revolution brought an enormous wave of success in both economic and technical advancement. The first revolution largely focused on the production of new textiles machinery, improved methods of coal production, iron manufacturing and agricultural techniques. However, by the second industrial revolution, a clustering of industrial inventions centering on steel, railroad and agricultural machinery, thus, a big boom on the industry and economy.
