What was the Industrial Revolution? - ANSWER-The
Industrial Revolution was an increase in production
brought about by the use of machines and characterized
by the use of new energy sources. The Industrial
Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century
where major changes in agriculture, manufacturing,
mining, and transport had a great effect on the economic
and cultural conditions in the United Kingdom, and then
spreading throughout Europe, North America, and
eventually the world.
,Although the Industrial Revolution occurred around the
same time as the French, American, Latin American, and
Haitian Revolutions, the Industrial Revolution was really
the most revolutionary of the bunch. Its start marked a
major turning point in human history; almost every aspect
of daily life was eventually influenced in some way. Before
the Industrial Revolution, not much changed about the
way we disposed of waste or located drinking water or
acquired clothing. Most people lived on or very closed to
the land that provided their food. Except for a few
exceptions, life expectancy never rose above 35.
Education was a privilege not a right. In all these millennia,
we had never developed a weapon that could kill more
than a couple dozen people at once, or a way to travel
faster than horseback. For 15,000 years, most humans
never owned or used a single item made outside of their
,communities. Simon Bolivar didn't change that, and
neither did the American Declaration of Independence.
Before the Industrial Revolution, about 80% of the world's
population was engaged in farming to keep itself and the
other 20% of people from starving. Today, in the U.S. less
than 1% of people list their occupation as farming.
