The First Industrial Revolution and The Secound Industrial Revolution

          The Industrial Revolution was largely confined to Britain from 1760 to 1830, and then spread to Belgium and France. Other nations lagged behind, but once Germany, the U.S., and Japan achieved industrial power they outstripped Britain's initial successes. Eastern European countries lagged into the 20th century, and not until the mid-20th century did the Industrial Revolution spread to such countries as China and India. Many analysts saw evidence of a second, or new, industrial revolution in the later 20th century, with the use of new materials and energy sources, automated factories, new ownership of the means of production, and a shift away from laissez-faire government.

           The Second Industrial Revolution began in England in the 18th century; there were so many changes during this period. Technological changes included the use of iron and steel, new energy sources, invention of new machines that increased production (including the spinning jenny), development of the factory system, and important developments in transportation and communication (including the steam engine and telegraph). Other changes included agricultural improvements, a wider distribution of wealth, political changes reflecting the shift in economic power, and sweeping social changes.

           In the first Industrial Revolution time, many technical inventions all originated from artisan's experience, the science and the technology not yet truly unified. But in the second Industrial Revolution time, the natural sciences recent development started the same Industrial Revolution close union; science played a more vital role in the impetus productive forces development aspect. He caused the second Industrial Revolution with the technical union to yield the huge result. Next, the first Industrial Revolution first occurred in England. The important new machine and the new production method mainly were invented in England; other countries Industrial Revolution development advancement was relatively slow. But the second Industrial Revolution nearly synchronized in several advanced capitalist countries. The new technology and the invention surpassed a country's scope, its scale was more widespread, and the development was also rapid. Third, because the second Industrial Revolution started at different times, somewhat main capitalist countries, for instance, Japan had not yet completed the first Industrial Revolution; to them, two Industrial Revolutions was doing simultaneously. They both might have absorbed the first Industrial Revolution’s technical achievement and might have used the second Industrial Revolution’s directly new technology. The national rate of economic development was also quick.
