Answer 1

The First Industrial Revolution began in England in the late eighteenth century. The initial focus of the Industrial Revolution was using the steam engine for textiles. This large production helped to quickly produce fine silks and clothing in shorter periods of time.

The Second Industrial Revolution occurred in the nineteenth century and developed the steel industry and giant corporations. This saw advancements in: communication (through the telegraph/telephone), transport (flight in airplanes/and Ford's Model T) , and manufacturing.

Both Revolutions led to large population and economic growth. The Second Industrial Revolution forever changed the way society interacted with one another especially in the forms of travel and communication.
