industrial revolution
Consequences
Family Life
The Industrial Revolution changed the family's position altogether. The same labor specialization that occurred in factories occurred in working-class families' lives and this broke up the family economy. Work and home life split sharply. Men earned their families income.
Rise of Labor Movements
Workers at some point began to revolt. They joined forces and formed unions to fight for healthier jobs, better hours and higher salaries. It was easy for factory owners to dismiss one disgruntled employee but it was much harder to remove any of their workers if they went on strike together.
Economic Instability
industrialization resulted in an rise in the population and the urbanization trend, as more and more people migrated to urban centers in search of jobs.
Economic Liberalism
The Industrial Revolution turned economies based on agriculture and crafts into economies centered on large-scale production, mechanized manufacturing, and the infrastructure of factories. New computers, new power sources and new ways of organizing work have made traditional industries more effective and competitive.
Lives of People
There were several positive contributions of the Industrial Revolution. Between these was a increase in income, food growth, and living standards. People also had access to healthy foods, new accommodation and affordable products. Furthermore, during the Industrial Revolution, education rose.
Changes
Agricultural Revolution
New farming techniques and improved animal husbandry contributed to increased food production. This allowed a population boom, and improved health. The modern farming methods have also contributed to movement in the enclosure.
Energy Revolution (coal)
As demand for coal soared because of iron and steam, because the technology to supply coal improved and therefore the ability to maneuver it increased, coal experienced a huge escalation.
Cotton
Cotton was a major Industrial Revolutionary raw material. The heavy fibers in the spinning machinery were ideally suited for the hard mechanical treatment.
steel
In the growth of many industries the availability of cheaper iron and steel was crucial. The invention of machine tools made iron work possible with precision. Many improvements included strengthened highways, rivers and railways. Raw materials and finished goods could be transported quicker and cheaper than ever

Expansion
Germany
Around a century later the Industrial Revolution began in Germany than it did in England. As a political entity Germany did not exist until the later part of the nineteenth century. First came the Zollverein (Toll Union) in 1833, which had turned Germany into a single market by abolishing tolls between the various German principalities. There were attempts at I for decades, until around 1860's
Rest of Europe
In Europe, the industrial revolution did not happen immediately but rather spread very slowly across the continent. One of the causes was the extraordinarily high population growth that set in around the mid-eighteenth century and created a gigantic pool of job.
France
France endured a gradual transition to commercialized livestock, power-driven machinery and mass production. But by the late 19th century, most of the employees were working outside industry. Factories were primarily based in the northern part of France, in a few towns.
