The Industrial Revolution has always captured my mind, since childhood. A very rare passion. I know of no one else with this passion.

This three part series was a great tool to use for my secondary research to apply to my future KZbin comments about how England was affected by population growth during the 1800s during its initial struggle towards the fight for Economic Freedom. During this innovative century you can tell mankind is truly determined to survive for more than just answers regarding evolution. Technology and Industry are a pretty big deal for our species survival. It's very evident from the information presented in this documentary!!

[@inesdelong5896]

I do have been fascinated by the industrial revolution. It was what technology is today.

[@ancientseamonster9499]

I started working in a factory a while back, lately I’ve been fascinated by this period in history. The machine truly changed so much for the human.

The early " Steam Engines " were Atmospheric Pumps. James Watt replaced Newcomen's Atmospheric Power for Steam Power. This was his greatest achievement. To achieve this he had to build a new Engine, the world's first practical Steam Engine, in Scotland. The Industrial Revolution was a Power Revolution. It was the result of only one invention, James Watt's Steam Engine. Everything else were just natural improvements of things that have been around for probably 2000 years. Watt's Steam Engine was the only thing that had never existed before. Watt's Steam Engine affected every Industry, including spinning and weaving and created many more, including locomotives. Everybody could now have a source of power now!

steam engine, canal networks, trade increment.

[@flybobbie1449]

Industrial revolution came about because the middle classes discovered how to make lots of money.

[@aldeventos]

Any good movie recommendation on this period?

[@edwardrichardson8254]

AWESOME.

Nothing at all said about the horrible working conditions that these magnificent factory owners created.🤷‍♂️

[@AdrianHepburn-vz9yr]

You need to think and research more. Back then living conditions in the countryside were appalling. People lived short, miserable lives in abject squalor, using turf or dung fires for heat, light and cooking. The smokey air inside their thatched dwelling slowly killed them, as did a lack of education in general and no knowledge of Germ Theory in particular.

[@solidflyer286]

I’d suggest watch my Tony robinsons private life of the working class. However for many the factories were an improvement - a sad fact often overlooked

[@eduardocastillo2759]

Beautiful theme music. Does anybody know the composer and name of composition? I tried using the Shazam application that's extremely efficient with comercial music, but failed miserably if its not identical to its databank of musical compositios..

[@damienpace7350]

That sounds like Handel to me but don't know the piece

[@ozgeozcelik8921]

there should be made a theme park VR for industrial revolution era England like westworld

There is..The Ironbridge Museum in the county of Shropshire, England.

[@flybobbie1449]

Dudley....well at least the Black Country museum. Just not sure where the town stops and the museum starts.

[@flybobbie1449]

Wouldn't go Iron Bridge just yet, it's covered up for refurb.

[@mrsprinkles431]

We are learning this for class and I hate it

[@jmuld1]

Very skimpy on why the industrial revolution happened in England. Or for that matter why did it?

[@Oscuros]

Makes this academically worthless. They didn't industrialise until the mid 19th Century, typical yank insecurity and parochialism.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

He did literally say that the next part of the series they will discuss *why the Industrial Revolution occurred in England* . So if you want that watch part two.

[@jmuld1]

@@dickJohnsonpeter Translation! I am awaiting for evidence from others since I have nothing. Note, the industrial revolution was water powered for a century as warming was going on.

[@rajsingha1099]

Hear hear. The British stole the knowledge of how to cast large metallic objects from the people of India. In doing so, they were able to start the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and in turn, spark a revolution throughout the rest of the world. The iron object, a pillar, still exists today, in Istanbul, Turkey, where the British brought it. It can be found in the middle of a roundabout, with no mention to it's significance to our current civilization, and where it came from. It appears the British didn't want to promote the origins of the Industrial Revolution.

[@hannecatton2179]

Steady on Raj ! Stole ? It was a transfer of knowledge. Nothing more or less.

[@RobDeManc]

The industrial revolution had nothing to do with iron. It was triggered by the invention of weaving looms like the Spinning Jenny - made of wood.

[@bobhill9845]

Cope, seeth, cry.

[@cheeseburger625]

Listen here u dumbo Indian the industrial revolution was a result of Sir isaac Newton combining the laws of motion and gravitational physics which led rise to the development of machines

[@solidflyer286]

One single idea does not a revolution make. If it did the Industrial Revolution would have happened in India, not in Great Britain.

Industrial Revolution was financed by the LOOT from Bengal, India which was practically occupied by the British in 1757. It provided the money obtained from huge taxation on the people of Bengal, who perished in the famine of 1765-70. Then the British started destroying the textile industry in Bengal by cutting the fingers of the weavers. India used to contribute 24 percent of the world output in the early 19th century but at the late 19th century it was contributing only 2.5 percent of the world output. The transformation of India from a rich country to a country of destitute under the British rule was the price for the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

[@flybobbie1449]

Shit holes countries always blame someone for their poverty, what's the excuse today. I see India is about to run out of fresh drinking water. I see the space program comes first.

[@marcobagut]

What a crock of shit! The industrial revolution was fuelled by coal, which Britain had in vast amounts, machinery invention and organisation. All things you did notnhave, in fact with those resources you did jack shit! Shut up with this bollocks!
