@@Knowledgia Hilarious mistake though. The steam engine. The steam engine. Hm.... taking the hobbits to aisingard moment? Maybe time to make a dub on it?

The British changed the world more than any other nation since perhaps the Roman Empire thanks to the Industrial Revolution. Its impact cannot be underestimated.
It is a pity that we have declined and don't invent or even manufacture much anymore. We just buy everything from China or S. Korea. Engineers and inventors are not appreciated in the UK, only sales and marketing. Even during the Industrial Revolution itself factories generating wealth for the UK were labelled "satanic mills". Foreign companies such as Hyundai are making flying taxis - the UK ought to be making those too!
The Liverpool and Manchester Railway is seen by many as the birth of the modern world. From its success, transportation, the postal service, access to fresh food, employment, leisure travel, business travel and much more, was all revolutionised. This success was then replicated throughout the rest of Great Britain, Europe and the world. Strangely enough, the very location of this historic event lays abandoned, although there is a campaign to have it designated a site of historic global importance.
In Liverpool there is a sign marking the western terminus of the first passenger railway but it’s just randomly on the side of the road. Other than that, absolutely nothing which I think is such a shame!
@@LuzitaniumTrue, and look at the British car industry, Which sold the 2nd most carrs internationally, on volume as late as 1962. it's a lesson that both Germany anJ Japan didnn't learn from - "don't allow" overregulation to protect existing interests market share, because this just stops new ideas and updaating from happening. Germany and Japan made the same error in the EEarly 2000's and now Soouth Korea, Indonesia and China are the best engineers and at 21st century tech - Germany and Japan are backward nations in 21st century tech. In Europe, UK and Denmark are further ahead in AI, digitisation andd cyber
Think about how much an individual life changed if they lived 100 years during this Era. Compared to any other 100 year time span. Imagine being born in 1869 and dying 1969. When you were born you more than likely traveled on a horse and when you die man lands on the moon.
My grandparents were born in 1940. They are all still alive, though maybe not for much longer. They grew up on a farm and lived without electricity, sanitation or water circulation. They saw WWII and used horses when they grew up. Now they are using smartphones and computers.
Very interesting! I find it interesting that the industrial revolution happened in the first place, with many people thinking that it just occured all over the western world at once, which is wrong.
I would also like to think that the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna also played a role in helping the Industrial Revolution to spread around. Nicely informative video.
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. UK, that did not have those world commitments (civilization in India, like in Latin America and defend Catholicism, only trade for the metropolis) seized the opportunity in the mid-18th century, and did it well.
Oh, I noticed you mentioned "the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna" but completely neglected to mention the 'Holy Alliance', which came later.... funny that.
*_One other ingredient frequently overlooked:_* The one thing that gave us the *_Golden Age of Science_* (1400-1750), helped to prepare the minds of those inventors and thinkers. That was the attitude of *_humility to empirical evidence._* Without this, the Greeks and even the Romans would have found it impossible to have started their own Industrial Revolution. The Greeks thought about Truth and *_decided_* what it should be, based on observation and reasoning. Too bad they were wrong a lot of the time, like "all orbits are circular." Today, we are losing that precious ingredient -- *_humility_* -- as our successes are going to the heads of modern scientists, politicians and the like. They are returning to the sedentary certainty of the know-it-all attitude of what I call the "Dumb Geniuses" of the world.

@@RodMartinJr i don't really see the relevance to be honest, if you're happy with the direction of the world in the past 2 decades then we'll probably never agree
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.
Iberians opened their horizons but the ingrates never thank the ones who introduced them to the world. See my video "A conquistador refutes the Metatron on Samurais VS Spaniard" and "The British Empire Was NOT The Biggest." Brits used their greatest glory, scientific knowledge, for their greatest shame: genocides. My series proves Spain committed none.... until it went full libtard and abortionist. Fools refuse to question what they're taught, and will bash the one who thinks freely.
@@miguelpadeiro762 so did the british? Even worse than the Spaniards? I see that the Black Legend is still relevant to this day, especially to North Americans, probably because they want to cover up the history of their country which is full of genocide and ethnic cleansing, that's why there's not many natives there, in comparison to ex spanish colonies, but yeah, Spaniards bad, right?
@@andresduques2013 Fucking hell man, get some breaks, I am not attacking Spain, hell I am Portuguese. The British were worse than the Spanish and Portuguese in the Americas. Whilst we Iberians forcefully enforced our culture and religion on the natives, the British downright slaughtered and expelled them. It's the reason why USA and Canada is all white as snow and Latin America has darker skin tones. But at the end of the day Spain was just the lesser of two big evils.
As bad as the industrial revolution was, it created the luxuries and connectedness of the modern world and is truly the most momentous change in history since the agricultural revolution
Luxuries? You think being addicted video games, consooming product and fast food is the peak of your existence? When you are devoid of actual social connexions and real life outside your studio flat. Before that most people owned the land they inhabited and produced their own food, and were largely independent in most respects. Can't say thay anymore.
@@tj-co9go yes those are downsides but it clearly does not outweigh the benefits. If you really meant what you said, you wouldn't be replying to my comment int the first place and you would be a farmer
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 their 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 !
First precise metal lathe was made for textile industry to create machinery for them. Without precision metal lathes and milling machines steam engines were not possible.
you also forgot the importance of the idea of private property and a government that protected it. This allowed for people being willing to take the chances since they would get the reward.
I just made this comment.There is too much emphasis on entrepreneurial and industrialisation as groundbreaking, It's really liberal freedoms protected by statute, in law and politics and Checks and balances Put on aAbuse of Power, being actually efficient and effective the 1st time in history. Rome and Greece idea of being a republic, was ultimately Propaganda - they were both ruled by a small eliite, everyone else sufferingg and up to 40% of those states were slaves. Political, legal and social emancipation started with the act of Parliament (1707) and the English bill of Rates (1689). Then another group of English men (the founding fathers) adapted that into a republic- LaFayette then adapted the American system into the French Amongst others, then the spread to other places
Not so much government directly protecting it but by government allowing an independent legal system which would guarantee the enforcement of contracts.
So then, is that why the industrial revolution was such a boom? Because the government was asking these people to start it up? () I’m trying to research as much economy as I can. I’ve always wondered, how did this big industrialized factories get made and who paid for them? Did individuals just scrounge up enough money? Was there government intervention to encourage industrialization?
@@IsaacmoillietThe government protected patents. People wanted to get rich. Although most of them were already rich, they got richer. Not many people had the time to sit and invent shit, and even less had good education. But England having an empire, gave an opportunity for many low class people to get rich. So maybe they had more people who could sit around and have time to invent shit. And it was a relatively stable time in the uk. No wars. Some civil short ones. Not many changes in leadership. Europe was a mess. Like always. It was like the cocktail from which life began some few billions of years ago.
Imagine being born and living through childhood in rural Britain only knowing basic life and then going to a industrial city like London and seeing the revolutions that happened there, it must have been wild.
Well.. on that note, we should thank milk, honey, and beer/wine too. Milk and other dairy products was major source for protein for Europeans when meat was expensive. Honey was one of the most popular sweetener and preservatives in Europe. Beer and wine were (still are) major source of energy, not to mention its recreational benefit.
Another key factor was that (relative) wages in GB were higher than any other country. Raw materials and inventors were in many other countries but it was simply not worth it since wages were low
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.
Don't forget the masses of poor working class & children that toiled in dangerous mills, factories and mines. Minimal pay and inhospitable conditions were standard. They were integral as well.
Yep. Gives the impression that all was "created" on naturally available resources only. No downsides, no victims, only winners, everbody benefitted from it. If that was true, the general state of economy would be different from what we live to witness today.
Well, it seems another major factor is that India was colonized, heavily taxed, forbidden to manufacture its own goods which needed to be purchased from UK. That eliminated other supply of manufactured goods and created huge demand. I think this also should be mentioned as another main reason. Let's not forget that manufacturing (although less technically advanced) was bigger in Asia (mostly China and India) than in Europe until 18-19th century.
That is not really true. British East India Company possessions in India at the start of the Industrial Revolution circa 1750 were relatively small. The Company made money in that period by selling Indian made goods in Europe including textiles. The Indian textile industry was renowned for quality but it could not compete with the mechanised products made in Britain from the mid eighteenth century onwards, no country could because Britain was the only industrial economy in the world.
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.
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!
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.
Okay, heres a "i dont know" thats ALWAYS bugged me. The original steam engines were essentially static water removal devices that cleared water from mines. I get that, i understand the mechanism but my question is HOW? Ive never been able ro find a picture of HOW the pump was built IN the mine, the working end, the actual pumping bit in the mine and its always bugged me.
legal system which enables to gain money from your invention (patent right) is the only factor. Such a legal system granting civil rights, evolving till Magna Carta, is miraculous for 18.Century.
Some years in the future people will talk about today internet revolutions. Even internet invented some years ago, but its revolutionized our way of life few years back thanks to global political stability.
2:40 That doesn't explain why China, Japan and Russia didn't industrialize earlier. All of them had enormous amounts of money, stability and infrastructure in the 18th century, and yet they took way longer to industrialize.
Political , economic and legal emancipation and enfranchisement" of increasing groups of people in Britain, before anywhere else, helped by then being an island. Modern "effective" and reliable structures protecting personal rights, private property and ambitions started in Britain in 1689 with the English Bill of Rights after cutting off the Kings head and protected more with the act of Parliament (1707). Before this, the entire world history was "trust me, bro!" - even ancient Greece and Rome were Not really republics with protective free structures and both were massive slave states, with about 40% of the population being slaves *The states you mentioned were the worst examples of 95% and educated peasants, with a small ruling elite.But even in continental Europe, probably 90% of the population were also uneducated peasants. The modern world as we know today happened gradually because of human and civil rights documents throughout English history, e.g. the Charter of liberties (1100) Magna Carta 1215,… and the Habeus Corpus, being adapted to suit slightly different cultures, e.g.: USA American Bill of Rights and Constitution is based on those structures and the French system developed from LaFayette's consultations with Thomas Jefferson… Everything else was adapted following that*
Everytime you watch an American video about British history, they always call English people 'British' but Scottish people 'Scots'. We are all equally Brits
8:21 The steam engine to the steam engine to the steam engine... 8:29 ...larger amounts of coal brought her amounts of coal brought it coal to be fueled... Why. That is just an error, right?
People are quick to jump to the negatives of the industrial revolution. Like climate change. Though if the industrial revolution didn’t happen, then the device they complain on 24/7 would not have existed.
Thomas Newcomen invented the first Atmospheric Pump. ( Atmospheric Power ). James Watt invented the first PRACTICAL Steam Pump and shortly after, the first PRACTICAL Steam Engine. ( Steam Power ).
I wonder, how many similar sparks came before it that never truly ignited. How many machines were created by individuals but cast away as stupid ideas, never to really reach mass adoption
The revolution could have happened as early as Classical Greece, and just imagine how different our world would be. Industrialized society in our timeline went hand-in-hand with many ideals of the French Revolution, leading to social structures like Communism, Nationalism, Liberalism and more things that are incomprehensible changes which to the modern mind is impossible to imagine. As someone in these comments put, imagine being born in 1869 and living until 1969, you'd go from riding on horseback (more if you lived in the American Midwest but okay) to watching man make it to the moon, and land on it.
@David Lockett technically just one: the agricultural revolution. I’m just curious to see part 3 of humanity Part 1: Agricultural Revolution (11,700 years) Part 2: Industrial Revolution (310 years, still ongoing) Part 3: hopefully real life Mass Effect 🙏
Hi. (Offtopic) for Knowledgia: Dirn't you use to have a video about the Romaniam Unification of 1859? Can't find it anymore. Or maybe it was a different channel.
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 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.
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
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
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!

Spain wouldn't start anything in any way, not because they were altruists helping some colonies while being invaded by the world. It was a backward feudal country, you don't need any steam engine while you can get gold from America for free, but there's a downfall, huge inflation and archaic economy and society
@@Akojahg Spain imitated Rome, creating a western society in a very indigenous land (America and the Philippines were very isolated). In Italy, where we stayed for 457 years, longer than in America, we did the same as in other continents: 9 universities, baroque cities, fortresses, churches, ports, bridges, roads, hospitals, schools, palaces. 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). There we built 2,000 stone cities with all the European services, 28 universities, 25 colleges, thousands of hospitals and nursery schools, 130 cathedrals, 250 fortresses, bridges, ports, roads. 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.
@David Lockett Ignorance can be cured. Spain made the first world globalization, which took all of Europe out of the feudal era, including England. Food revolution, travel revolution, economic revolution, migration revolution, banking system revolution. -Spain had an empire in Europe. England/Uk never had an empire in Europe. Spain spent 200 years in Belgium and Luxembourg. 100 years in Holland. 60 years in Portugal. 70 years in Athens. 162 years in Germany and France, 457 years in Italy, which we fill with universities, baroque cities, fortresses and palaces, like the one in Caserta, bigger than Buckinham Palace. We saved the Catholic religion in Europe (South Germany, Palatinate, Belgium, Italy, France, Luxembourg...). England only traded. -Discovery of three continents: America (greatest event in history), Pacific Ocean, Antarctica, first circumnavigation of the world. Amazon, Great Plains of the United States, Persepolis, Iran. Sources of the White Nile in Africa. Angkorg in Cambodia. Pompeii and Herculaneum, Italy. New Zealand (16th century Spanish helmet), Hawaii (16th century Spanish map), -First scientific expeditions: 200 years before Cook. Spain (not England) made the first parliament in Europe (León 1118), with the presence of the whole society. -The first international human rights: Laws of Burgos 1512 and New Laws 1542. Not England in the 19th century. -The first patented steam engines for industrial use (Ayanz, 16th century, 150 years before the United Kingdom) -The first influential liberal ideas were made in Spain: Francisco Suárez, Salamanca school, 16th century. Liberal is a Spanish word -Current calendar (Spain, 16th century) that the British adopted in 1752, 200 years later. -The 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, creator of European myths, and influential in romantic Italy and Germany, when no one knew who Moliere or Shakespeare was. In addition to Picasso, best artist of the 20th century. Goya (the Beethoven of painting), Dali (best surrealist painter). The Prado Painting Museum, Madrid, is the best painting museum in the world. Spain had the literary, artistic and philosophical schools of the generation of 98 and 27 (XIX and XX century), known throughout the world (not by the ignorant, of course): Lorca, Dali, Valle-Inclan, Ortega y Gasset, Unamuno, Rosa Chacel... . -Spanish participation in the Renaissance. -Annexion of the Portuguese empire, Spanish emperor in Germany, revolution of the Asian market. The Spanish currency was the most important in the world for 300 years (1500-1800). Real de 8 or Spanish dollar, mother of the currency of the United States, China, Japan, Hong-Kong (1842), the Philippines and 30 other countries. We defeated the British in colossal battles, sinking fleets of 14, 40, 48, 50 and 60 ships, multiple times, defeating their best admirals. Drake 8 times and Nelson 3 times. Cádiz and Tenerife 1797 There are more mother tongue speakers of Spanish (the world's second mother tongue) than mother tongue speakers of English in the Commonwealth, the United States, and the French and Dutch empire speaking their own mother tongues, all combined. In addition, the Spanish language is the same as Portuguese in 89% of the words, so the Iberian influence is the greatest in world history. Spanish investment and military victories have made 800 million more Catholics today. I know that the British made the Industrial Revolution, a very influential science and a very large empire. So I'm not going to say anything bad about the British or other countries. Just remember that the Spanish king Philip II was king of England and Ireland, and that he spared the life of Elisabeth, Mary Tudor's maid, who was half Spanish. We also sent three invasion fleets to England, of over 130 ships, with 12,000 elite soldiers each, in 1588, 1596 and 1597, which only stopped three storms. A sunny day and... In 1589, without storms, we sank Drake's invincible fleet. If England wasn't an island we wouldn't even be talking about this. Spain invaded all the capitals of Western Europe in the XVI-XVII centuries: Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Manheim, Cologne, Aachen, Genoa, Milan, Florence, Amsterdam, Brussels... Now, with this legacy, every decade we get closer in military and economic power to the United Kingdom and France. Amén
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.
i willl tell u in 2 sentence - Britain put tax on shopkeepers and other indians tax and killed them. After they made them forcefully buy British products even if they where totally fulfilled by local goods...this caused a big reason to make industrialist grow to make fulfillment in india but it was all forcefully made to buy indians this good and indians where rich at that time
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
“But the sun itself, however beneficent, generally, was less kind to Coketown than hard frost, and rarely looked intently into any of its closer regions without engendering more death than life. So does the eye of Heaven itself become an evil eye, when incapable or sordid hands are interposed between it and the thing it looks upon to bless.” ― Charles Dickens,
@@shinseiki2015 i think he meant despite the British giving the industrial revolution to the world, it took a lot of lives to do so, the british did it for profit and not for something morally good for the benefit of the world
I made a ford assembly line when processing herbs i picked in the woods that needed to be boiled, cooled, chopped and then frozen; if u do it yourself its very evident why the industrial revolution happened 😅
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.

It is a pity that we have declined and don't invent or even manufacture much anymore. We just buy everything from China or S. Korea. Engineers and inventors are not appreciated in the UK, only sales and marketing. Even during the Industrial Revolution itself factories generating wealth for the UK were labelled "satanic mills".

The Liverpool and Manchester Railway is seen by many as the birth of the modern world. From its success, transportation, the postal service, access to fresh food, employment, leisure travel, business travel and much more, was all revolutionised. This success was then replicated throughout the rest of Great Britain, Europe and the world. Strangely enough, the very location of this historic event lays abandoned, although there is a campaign to have it designated a site of historic global importance.
and today railways in UK are awfull
In Liverpool there is a sign marking the western terminus of the first passenger railway but it’s just randomly on the side of the road. Other than that, absolutely nothing which I think is such a shame!
@@LuzitaniumTrue, and look at the British car industry, Which sold the 2nd most carrs internationally, on volume as late as 1962. it's a lesson that both Germany anJ Japan didnn't learn from - "don't allow" overregulation to protect existing interests market share, because this just stops new ideas and updaating from happening.

*_One other ingredient frequently overlooked:_* The one thing that gave us the *_Golden Age of Science_* (1400-1750), helped to prepare the minds of those inventors and thinkers. That was the attitude of *_humility to empirical evidence._* Without this, the Greeks and even the Romans would have found it impossible to have started their own Industrial Revolution. The Greeks thought about Truth and *_decided_* what it should be, based on observation and reasoning. Too bad they were wrong a lot of the time, like "all orbits are circular."
Today, we are losing that precious ingredient -- *_humility_* -- as our successes are going to the heads of modern scientists, politicians and the like. They are returning to the sedentary certainty of the know-it-all attitude of what I call the "Dumb Geniuses" of 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.

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 their 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 !

@@Walter-w9v You're white that's why.
First precise metal lathe was made for textile industry to create machinery for them. Without precision metal lathes and milling machines steam engines were not possible.
you also forgot the importance of the idea of private property and a government that protected it. This allowed for people being willing to take the chances since they would get the reward.
I just made this comment.There is too much emphasis on entrepreneurial and industrialisation as groundbreaking, It's really liberal freedoms protected by statute, in law and politics and Checks and balances Put on aAbuse of Power, being actually efficient and effective the 1st time in history. Rome and Greece idea of being a republic, was ultimately Propaganda - they were both ruled by a small eliite, everyone else sufferingg and up to 40% of those states were slaves. Political, legal and social emancipation started with the act of Parliament (1707) and the English bill of Rates (1689). Then another group of English men (the founding fathers) adapted that into a republic- LaFayette then adapted the American system into the French Amongst others, then the spread to other places
Not so much government directly protecting it but by government allowing an independent legal system which would guarantee the enforcement of contracts.
So then, is that why the industrial revolution was such a boom? Because the government was asking these people to start it up?
()
I’m trying to research as much economy as I can. I’ve always wondered, how did this big industrialized factories get made and who paid for them? Did individuals just scrounge up enough money? Was there government intervention to encourage industrialization?
@@IsaacmoillietThe government protected patents. People wanted to get rich. Although most of them were already rich, they got richer. Not many people had the time to sit and invent shit, and even less had good education. But England having an empire, gave an opportunity for many low class people to get rich. So maybe they had more people who could sit around and have time to invent shit. And it was a relatively stable time in the uk. No wars. Some civil short ones. Not many changes in leadership. Europe was a mess. Like always. It was like the cocktail from which life began some few billions of years ago.
This was what truly began the age of European and specifically British domination of the world

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.
Also public schools, libraries and increased literacy played a big part.
Great video!
Don't forget the masses of poor working class & children that toiled in dangerous mills, factories and mines. Minimal pay and inhospitable conditions were standard. They were integral as well.
Plus the corn farmer displacement due to importing American grain and corn.
Plus those who were colonized
Yep. Gives the impression that all was "created" on naturally available resources only. No downsides, no victims, only winners, everbody benefitted from it. If that was true, the general state of economy would be different from what we live to witness today.
Well, it seems another major factor is that India was colonized, heavily taxed, forbidden to manufacture its own goods which needed to be purchased from UK. That eliminated other supply of manufactured goods and created huge demand. I think this also should be mentioned as another main reason. Let's not forget that manufacturing (although less technically advanced) was bigger in Asia (mostly China and India) than in Europe until 18-19th century.
That is not really true.
British East India Company possessions in India at the start of the Industrial Revolution circa 1750 were relatively small.
The Company made money in that period by selling Indian made goods in Europe including textiles.
The Indian textile industry was renowned for quality but it could not compete with the mechanised products made in Britain from the mid eighteenth century onwards, no country could because Britain was the only industrial economy in the world.
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.
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!
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.
Okay, heres a "i dont know" thats ALWAYS bugged me. The original steam engines were essentially static water removal devices that cleared water from mines. I get that, i understand the mechanism but my question is HOW? Ive never been able ro find a picture of HOW the pump was built IN the mine, the working end, the actual pumping bit in the mine and its always bugged me.

Political , economic and legal emancipation and enfranchisement" of increasing groups of people in Britain, before anywhere else, helped by then being an island. Modern "effective" and reliable structures protecting personal rights, private property and ambitions started in Britain in 1689 with the English Bill of Rights after cutting off the Kings head and protected more with the act of Parliament (1707). Before this, the entire world history was "trust me, bro!" - even ancient Greece and Rome were Not really republics with protective free structures and both were massive slave states, with about 40% of the population being slaves
*The states you mentioned were the worst examples of 95% and educated peasants, with a small ruling elite.But even in continental Europe, probably 90% of the population were also uneducated peasants. The modern world as we know today happened gradually because of human and civil rights documents throughout English history, e.g. the Charter of liberties (1100) Magna Carta 1215,… and the Habeus Corpus, being adapted to suit slightly different cultures, e.g.: USA American Bill of Rights and Constitution is based on those structures and the French system developed from LaFayette's consultations with Thomas Jefferson… Everything else was adapted following that*

The revolution could have happened as early as Classical Greece, and just imagine how different our world would be. Industrialized society in our timeline went hand-in-hand with many ideals of the French Revolution, leading to social structures like Communism, Nationalism, Liberalism and more things that are incomprehensible changes which to the modern mind is impossible to imagine. As someone in these comments put, imagine being born in 1869 and living until 1969, you'd go from riding on horseback (more if you lived in the American Midwest but okay) to watching man make it to the moon, and land on it.

Hi. (Offtopic) for Knowledgia: Dirn't you use to have a video about the Romaniam Unification of 1859? Can't find it anymore. Or maybe it was a different channel.
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.
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
@@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.
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
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

They rather invaded other country and looted their resources for their revolution.
Spain wouldn't start anything in any way, not because they were altruists helping some colonies while being invaded by the world. It was a backward feudal country, you don't need any steam engine while you can get gold from America for free, but there's a downfall, huge inflation and archaic economy and society
@@Akojahg
Spain imitated Rome, creating a western society in a very indigenous land (America and the Philippines were very isolated). In Italy, where we stayed for 457 years, longer than in America, we did the same as in other continents: 9 universities, baroque cities, fortresses, churches, ports, bridges, roads, hospitals, schools, palaces. 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). There we built 2,000 stone cities with all the European services, 28 universities, 25 colleges, thousands of hospitals and nursery schools, 130 cathedrals, 250 fortresses, bridges, ports, roads. 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.
@David Lockett Ignorance can be cured. Spain made the first world globalization, which took all of Europe out of the feudal era, including England. Food revolution, travel revolution, economic revolution, migration revolution, banking system revolution.

Spain spent 200 years in Belgium and Luxembourg. 100 years in Holland. 60 years in Portugal. 70 years in Athens. 162 years in Germany and France, 457 years in Italy, which we fill with universities, baroque cities, fortresses and palaces, like the one in Caserta, bigger than Buckinham Palace. We saved the Catholic religion in Europe (South Germany, Palatinate, Belgium, Italy, France, Luxembourg...). England only traded.
-Discovery of three continents: America (greatest event in history), Pacific Ocean, Antarctica, first circumnavigation of the world. Amazon, Great Plains of the United States, Persepolis, Iran. Sources of the White Nile in Africa. Angkorg in Cambodia. Pompeii and Herculaneum, Italy. New Zealand (16th century Spanish helmet), Hawaii (16th century Spanish map),
-First scientific expeditions: 200 years before Cook.
Spain (not England) made the first parliament in Europe (León 1118), with the presence of the whole society.
-The first international human rights: Laws of Burgos 1512 and New Laws 1542. Not England in the 19th century.
-The first patented steam engines for industrial use (Ayanz, 16th century, 150 years before the United Kingdom)
-The first influential liberal ideas were made in Spain: Francisco Suárez, Salamanca school, 16th century. Liberal is a Spanish word
-Current calendar (Spain, 16th century) that the British adopted in 1752, 200 years later.
-The 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, creator of European myths, and influential in romantic Italy and Germany, when no one knew who Moliere or Shakespeare was. In addition to Picasso, best artist of the 20th century. Goya (the Beethoven of painting), Dali (best surrealist painter). The Prado Painting Museum, Madrid, is the best painting museum in the world.
Spain had the literary, artistic and philosophical schools of the generation of 98 and 27 (XIX and XX century), known throughout the world (not by the ignorant, of course): Lorca, Dali, Valle-Inclan, Ortega y Gasset, Unamuno, Rosa Chacel... .
-Spanish participation in the Renaissance.
-Annexion of the Portuguese empire, Spanish emperor in Germany, revolution of the Asian market.
The Spanish currency was the most important in the world for 300 years (1500-1800). Real de 8 or Spanish dollar, mother of the currency of the United States, China, Japan, Hong-Kong (1842), the Philippines and 30 other countries.
We defeated the British in colossal battles, sinking fleets of 14, 40, 48, 50 and 60 ships, multiple times, defeating their best admirals. Drake 8 times and Nelson 3 times. Cádiz and Tenerife 1797
There are more mother tongue speakers of Spanish (the world's second mother tongue) than mother tongue speakers of English in the Commonwealth, the United States, and the French and Dutch empire speaking their own mother tongues, all combined. In addition, the Spanish language is the same as Portuguese in 89% of the words, so the Iberian influence is the greatest in world history. Spanish investment and military victories have made 800 million more Catholics today.
I know that the British made the Industrial Revolution, a very influential science and a very large empire. So I'm not going to say anything bad about the British or other countries. Just remember that the Spanish king Philip II was king of England and Ireland, and that he spared the life of Elisabeth, Mary Tudor's maid, who was half Spanish.
We also sent three invasion fleets to England, of over 130 ships, with 12,000 elite soldiers each, in 1588, 1596 and 1597, which only stopped three storms. A sunny day and... In 1589, without storms, we sank Drake's invincible fleet. If England wasn't an island we wouldn't even be talking about this. Spain invaded all the capitals of Western Europe in the XVI-XVII centuries: Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Manheim, Cologne, Aachen, Genoa, Milan, Florence, Amsterdam, Brussels...
Now, with this legacy, every decade we get closer in military and economic power to the United Kingdom and France. Amén
Empires come and go, both Britain and Spain had their time in the spotlight and left their own mark in world history.

Please visit Micahistory 2, it would mean a lot!
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.
Kind of but it’s 99% just for money. They could stomp the competition with ease abroad, but in England everyone was on the same playing field.
8:21 I thought my phone was doing a special military operation.
I'm not watching this video, but I'm compelled to comment "Ellie Whitney, Cotton Gin!"
3:08 they also eliminated the threat of Bengali competition
And later mysorean competition
Have you heard the whispers about VideoGPT? It's the not-so-secret weapon of top-tier video creators.
The Royal Arsenal Woolwich would of played a big part in this.
i willl tell u in 2 sentence - Britain put tax on shopkeepers and other indians tax and killed them.
After they made them forcefully buy British products even if they where totally fulfilled by local goods...this caused a big reason to make industrialist grow to make fulfillment in india but it was all forcefully made to buy indians this good and indians where rich at that time
No mention of protectionism or state subsidies...mmm weird.
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
8:22 - 8:33🤣
Good Video :D
Yeah also noticed that
Thanks for uploading this literally 1 hour after i finish an exam about the industrial revolutiom
That sucks for u then 😂😂
@@keithprice4711 yes it does
Trustworthy and trust in those institutions designed to protect the individual and their ideas.
08:30 check it out Knowlegia :)
“But the sun itself, however beneficent, generally, was less kind to Coketown than hard frost, and rarely looked intently into any of its closer regions without engendering more death than life. So does the eye of Heaven itself become an evil eye, when incapable or sordid hands are interposed between it and the thing it looks upon to bless.”
― Charles Dickens,
what does he mean i dont get it
@@shinseiki2015 i think he meant despite the British giving the industrial revolution to the world, it took a lot of lives to do so, the british did it for profit and not for something morally good for the benefit of the world
It’s really useful channels. Congrats for 1 M subs. Always support
I made a ford assembly line when processing herbs i picked in the woods that needed to be boiled, cooled, chopped and then frozen; if u do it yourself its very evident why the industrial revolution happened 😅
Alexander the great termed this Island a nation of shop keepers. How did Britain became so powerful.
8:24 thought I was on acid for a second lmao
Fun fact: the first Russian commodities exchange opened in 1703 in St. Petersburg.
Interesting video but I was disappointed that the Luddites didn't get a mention.
8:23 mistake
very good explanation of the factors that led to the industrial revolution
Yes
I can't wait for Victoria 3!
The 1880s at the Black Sea is not good or accurate. The Industrial Rev. had hit that part before 1850s or around 1850s :)
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.
