Chapter 17 Revolutions of industrialization

What I learned about chapter 17 is that Europe's modern  transformation had a greater significance for the history of the humankind   than the industrial Revolution which took place in 1750 and 1900. French revolution transformed European society , agricultural revolution some 12,000 years ago had a way of life been so fundamentally altered. Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, spread much more rapidly than agriculture. More than Christianity, democracy or capitalism. Industrial Revolution marks a human response to that dilemma as non renewable fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas replaced the endlessly renewable energy sources of Wind, water and wood. Technological innovations: The Spinning Jenny, Power Loom, Steam Engine, Cotton Gin = culture of innovation. The new societies of the Americas offered a growing number market for European machine produced goods  and generated substantial profits for European merchants and entrepreneurs.Those who benefited the most from industrialization were members of that amorphous group called the middle class
