The Most Important Era Of History (1760-2010)
The Industrial Revolution was the most important time period of all time, where engineering innovations and manufacturing were at its peak. Before the industrial revolution people used horses and walked, but now they could travel by train by the invention created steam engines. Instead of coal it uses steam to drive the power of the train, which was invented by James Watt.
History Before
During the industrial revolution, factories were at their peak performance without needing the use of manual labor or water wheels (that were created in 4000 BCE for crop irrigation, grinding grains, and supplying drinking water to villages.)
Cause & Effect
Railways for locomotives were invented and expanded greatly during this time increasing the level of production and efficiency in the manufacturing world.
Due to these new innovations good became cheaper and economic growth spiked.
Turning Point
The industrial revolution introduced a new communication device, so people don't have to send letters. This was the electric telegraph. This was a key innovation during this time because it allowed the military to develop and use morse code which was very important for the victory of World War 2, the Vietnam War, and many more.
Key Innovations During The Era
- Spinning Jenny - Automatically spun cotton and wool to make textile clothing
- Steam engine - Worked from water being heated and cooled to condensate in a cylinder which operated a piston creating movement to make energy
Telegraph - Communication Device
Railways & Locomotives - Movement vehicle
Power Loom - Used to make fabrics
“Modern” Battery - Stores Energy - Steel - Material
