Industrial Revolution Innovations and Impacts

The video explores the Industrial Revolution, highlighting its two stages. The First Industrial Revolution (1750-1830) in Great Britain was powered by coal and steam engines, revolutionizing factories and transportation. The Second Industrial Revolution (mid-19th to early 20th century) introduced oil, internal combustion engines, steel, chemical engineering, and electricity, expanding industrialization globally. Key impacts included increased trade, migration, and the development of interior regions. The video also discusses the environmental costs and technological advancements like the telegraph.
