“The First Industrial Revolution” was the period where manufacturing transitioned from hand production to machine, chemical and iron production methods. The use of steam power increased, as well as the production of machine tools.
This first happened with the production of textiles, which was the dominant industry. The first industrial revolution also marks the rise of “the factory system”.
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, and many of the technological innovations were British.
The Second Industrial Revolution:
“The Second Industrial Revolution” was a phase of rapid industrialization that took place in the final third of the 19th century. The First Industrial Revolution, which ended in the early to mid-1800s, was punctuated by a slowdown in macro-inventions before the Second Industrial Revolution in 1870. Several its characteristic events can be traced to earlier innovations in manufacturing, such as the establishment of a machine tool industry, the development of methods for manufacturing interchangeable parts and the invention of the Bessemer Process to produce steel. “The Second Industrial Revolution” is said to have taken place between 1870 and 1914 up to the start of World War I.
Advancements in manufacturing and production technology enabled the widespread sharing of information, concerning preexisting technological systems, like telegraph and railroad networks, gas and water supply and sewage systems, which had earlier been concentrated to a small number of cities, that were considered advanced at the time.
