Lasting from the 1700-1900s and beginning in Europe, the Industrial Revolution began with the inventions of machines that spud up production and created more goods. It began with the Agricultural Revolution as farmers created inventions to help their farms and new farming techniques. Those with good farms would continue living in rural areas, but mainly the population moved to the urban areas where the factories provided jobs. From the Industrial Revolution, it began the basis of technology as we know today, as well as the beginnings of world trade and free enterprise.
The Industrial Revolution began in England because England had the three factors of production, land, labor, and capital. England was also rich in natural resources and the strong sense of nationalism to make England competitive. The industrialization process began with the textile mills and eventually grew to cover all kinds of production.
At the same time as the Industrial Revolution, many new ideas of government and policies involving businesses were popularizing. Some of these ideas were that of Karl Marx, who supported the government of socialism and pure socialism, or in other words, communism. He believed that as the world favored capitalism, it would hurt the poor and that only those two types of government would make everyone equal. An opposer to these beliefs was Adam Smith, who believed in capitalism and the concept of free economy and that it would greatly benefit the world and society. Then there were others who favored to not have government and wanted anarchism to rule.
All of these ideas and revolutionary strides have happened to shape the world in which we live in today. Without even the smallest idea that came from past periods of time, our life today could be drastically different.
