How did the Industrial Revolution Happen?
The Industrial Revolution first began in Great Britain during the latter half of the 18th century. Throughout the next century, the process of mechanizing the factory systems, replacing hand production with machine production processes, and the growing uses of steam and water power all contributed to the industrialization first of Britain and soon of the rest of Europe and the United States as British entrepreneurs eagerly exported this new knowledge and way of life to their neighbors and allies.

The United Kingdom also had stability for being an island. The island greatly reduced the risk of being invaded by other countries, and dominated by them. That also prevented the infiltration of French revolutionaries and communists. Let us think of the times that the economy of Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Spain and many other countries in continental Europe was destroyed. They had to start almost from scratch after invasions that destroyed industry, roads, fields, fleets, livestock, with massive losses of soldiers, civilians and exiles. The first patented steam engines for industrial use were invented in Spain (Ayanz, 16th century). But it was impossible to apply these technological advances at a time of 200-year war (1500-1700), against 5 European powers, and with 70-80% of Spanish wealth as reinvestment in America until XIX century, to create a Western society.

I recall my history teacher proclaiming "The Special Characteristics of the British People" as the reason for the industrial revolution. I'm sure that, as a veteran of WW2, he believed the trope. This video sums up the situation neatly. As evidence to support it, Britain was a geographical entity of a size controllable by a central government with the technologies available at that time. No armies marched in Britain after 1745. This allowed the exploitation of the coal and iron resources. In turn, institutions developed to manage the emerging dimensions of society. Viz unions and professional associations. At a point, technology in the form of railways and the telegraph, increased the size of governable entities. For example, the unification of Germany. After that, Britain's star was certain to wane. There’s a warning in this narrative arc to the triumphalist narrative of certain US politicians. Size matters, and an axis between China and Russia will dwarf the continental USA. Thus, to maintain its primacy, the USA badly needs allies. Its obvious internal divisions, along with its treatment of Ukraine as a political football, suggest the USA is no longer a viable ally. "Sic transit gloria mundi," so passes the glory of the world.

Bull dust. The industrial revolution began because the landowners threw the people off the land when they found it to be more economical to run sheep on their land than to rent parcels of land to peasants. The landless peasants then moved into the towns that eventually became industrialised cities, and the landless peasants needed to find new ways of generating income, so they started manufacturing stuff for the wealthy landowners to buy. This change first began in places such as Stoke on Trent (the potteries) which had a history of making pots from the rich clay deposits found in the locality. Then industrialisation spread to places such as Birmingham where iron ore was mined. Necessity is the mother of invention, and when people become desperate enough, they also become inventive. I wonder how inventive people will become over the next few years as Artificial Intelligence takes over all of the jobs? I don't think they will go back to mining coal, but some may well go back onto the land, but it won't be like it was previously when their ancestors were on the land.

We do not differentiate between whites and Indians. We had no apartheid in 1990, no caste system in India in 1948, no racially segregated buses. The Spanish reinvested 70% of their wealth in America and the Philippines (80% in the 18th century).

We take the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Enlightenment through 6000 meter mountain ranges, deep valleys, impenetrable jungles, tropical diseases, deserts, volcanoes, mighty rivers. That is why Hispanic America is Western, with 90% of mother Spanish speakers. 99% speak Spanish. 85% Catholic. The Commonwealth has 10% native English speakers. Less than 10% Christians. Because the British took most of their wealth to London, like the Dutch to Amsterdam. East India trading company until 1857... But Harvard had a college for whites in 1630. Not even in the 20th century did British, French, and Dutch reinvestment match Spanish reinvestment. British India has 2% Christians. Spanish Philippines, with 7000 islands, has 90% Christians there. All societies were archaic at that time. When did the British and the rest of the Europeans come out of the feudal era? When Spain made the first world globalization, revolutionizing food, transport, banks, migration... Remember that the English had Puritans, and they skinned peaceful Catholic priests, burned them, and ripped out their genitals. English theater was made with men. Women could not participate. Spain always had women actresses, independents, and businesswomen. Very liberated women. Yes, the church was always present. But also in England and Germany and France. 25,000 alleged witches were burned alive in Germany at that time. In Spain that crime was nonsense. In France 2-3 million people died savagely at that time, in the wars of religion. Mexico and Peru produce more gold and silver every year of the 21st century than the Spanish empire in 100 years. Spain made the first parliament in Europe (León 1118) -The first liberal ideas (Francisco Suárez, School of Salamanca. ) -The current calendar (Gregorian, 16th century. The British accepted this world calendar in 1752) -The first international human rights (Burgos Laws 1512 and New Laws 1542) -The first scientific expeditions, with cataloging and study of fauna and flora in the 5 continents (16th-17th century) -The first patented steam machines for industrial use (Ayanz, 16th century. 100 years before the English) -Golden Age of Spanish culture: Don Quixote, best work of fiction in history. Velázquez, best baroque painter. Tomás Luis de Victoria, best composer of the 16th century. Spanish theater, influential in Europe. -Participation in the Renaissance. Don't believe all the nonsense that Ken Follett writes and English propaganda.

Being an island did not prevent the Black Death from reaching the British Isles in the 1340s and was far more devastating than any war.

In Britain from 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Waterwheels declined in number. Windmills declined in number. The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. The Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and its descendants increased in number to 10,000,000!!! Through this, total Power supply of the whole country increased by between 400 and 500 times!! A percentage increase of between 40,000% and 50,000% !! This WAS the Industrial Revolution, it was a Power Revolution, and it was all due to only one Invention. James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine. All this extra Power brought us into the Modern World. It was nothing to do with Spinning and Weaving, or all these other Inventions, or Waterwheels. It was the elimination of the 2000 years old Waterwheels, for the first time ever. Take away Steam Power and there's no Industrial Revolution !

So this is how the beginning of the 🔚 end for the British Empire started. Sharing technology! So basically if the British Empire did not 🚫 willingly share itself technological advancements of the industrialized revolution it would have been able to continue to be a leading world 🌎🌍 power.

[@noahcook2079]

It carried on being a world power for hundreds of years, it’s only because of two world wars that’s it isn’t anymore

[@alilabeebalkoka]

@@noahcook2079 well Sharing that technology allowed for those countries to build up to create situations. I said the beginning. It was like a train 🚃🚂 that starts to stop 🚏🛑 and it takes a few miles before it finally does. Same concept. Great Britain took a few centuries to finally 🚏🛑 STOP.

[@XXXTENTAClON227]

It was way too profitable to keep to themselves. The funniest thing to me, is that Britain immediately shared its feats with countries like China and France… only to be labelled by them as the “death of civilization”. France got on board quite quickly after they realized just how powerful the little island was actually becoming, and China got a rude awakening when a private British company defeated them in warfare and annexed their territory

[@Rowlph8888]

Yes, right now, because, but ultimately they didn't have a population or natural resources, to stay dominant for several hundred years - the Germans and the USA were always going to catch up eventually because of that. But if the colonists had lost the war and independence, protectionism would have been implemented and progress Would Have been much slower. Ultimately, the French decisions would make the difference in what happened to both France and Britain anHow the world looks now.If they hadn't supported the colonists, they would have lost and there would be no USA in future, because the Brits industrialised only decades afterr this and became a greater willpowerWorld power to decades after, then USA is now - because they had steam powered Against sailing vessels. Also, France wouldn'tHave gone bankrupt, would have adapted their political system to appease the public and therefore there would be no unification of the German states and no world wars… Which was only possible because France was at the weakest point in its history, with no intimidation, or meddling capability in the HRE, which it had in previous centuries

Thomas Newcomen and Thomas Savery didn't invent a Steam Engine, they invented an Atmospheric Pump, Atmospheric Power. James Watt invented the Steam Engine, Steam Power. This one and only invention changed the world. It was a Power Revolution. Imagine the Industrial Revolution without Steam Power. It wouldn't have happened, just Water-Wheels and Atmospheric Pumps. Thank you James Watt.

[@joemyers3885]

It seems that you don't offer a definition of Industrialization -- which is really mass production and mass consumption through specialization and division of labor. Mechanization only enhances this process, not establish it -- so that industrialization begins centuries before you date it

[@StoicHistorian]

“Oh shit guys, steam can move stuff”

[@tzazosghost8256]

Industrial Age began with large scale use if water power from rivers and the building of canals. But the Steam Age, owes a great deal to the use of iron cannon produced in large Royal Navay standard quantities. It's the Navy that triggers mass production techniques for cannon, tackle, rope, copper to sheeth the hullabd somethingas simple as nails. Mass production began there.

[@wattage-uk9zt]

There's always been an Industrial age, but not always an Industrial Revolution. We've always had Water-Power but not always Steam Power. The Industrial Revolution was the the dropping of Water-Power for large scale Steam Power. It was a Power Revolution. You can't increase the number of rivers suitable for Water-Power, but you can mass produce Steam Engines ( and I don't mean Newcomen's Atmospheric Pumps which went the same way as Water-wheels ). And it was all thanks to one man, Scotland's James Watt in Scotland. Imagine what the Industrial Revolution would have been like without Steam Power. It wouldn't have happened. We'd still be using Atmospheric Pumps and Water-Wheels. No Railways, no Locomotives, Steam Boats, no thousands more inland Factories. Whew!

The Liverpool Manchester railway? The birth of the modern world? James Watt's invention of the world's first PRACTICAL High Pressure Steam Powered Engine was the birth of the modern world, and the birth of the Manchester Liverpool railway once they put wheels on it!

Thank you for making the video, but i think that you should speak about and the second industrial revolution, If in first there were created small businesses that too were hiring workers but at a more limited way than second.And about stabillity, if we look better at end of 18th century, liberal capitalism begined to fall a lot, many people losed their jobs because they were replaced by machines, the ultra production of goods made even more damage to the economy, instead of lowering the price of goods that were sold to other countries and allies, the british goverment mantained the price as was, this damaging even more the economy, as result, in the beginning of 19th century liberal capitalism fell and begined monopoly capitalism, rich families begined to control the economy of Britain, France and many other capitalist states.And im very sure someone planned the fell of liberal capitalism.

Newcomen's Atmospheric Pump delivered Atmospheric Power, not Steam Power. Steam was used to create a vacuum, in order to make use of Atmospheric Pressure. Natural Air Pressure pushed the piston. Watt's Steam Engine used Steam directly to push the piston. So how can you give them the same name? James Watt dumped Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for Steam Power To achieve this he had to invent a new engine. The world's first PRACTICAL High Pressure Steam Powered Engine . Even diesel and petrol engines are given different names, so we know what they are. Watt's Steam Engine was not an ordinary invention, it was an invention that changed the world.

[@zhubajie6940]

Entrepreneurs didn't just happen. They were the result of 1) the Scottish Enlightenment brought on by the reformation and their belief that people should be taught to read and later be educated more broadly and 2)the oppression of religious dissenters (non-Anglican Protestants) who had no other choices to be successful than to go into industry and other areas that the Anglican gentry generally thought was beneath them.
