When was the first industrial revolution?

The time of the first industrial revolution: 65438+1960s to 65438+the middle of 9th century. The first industrial revolution was a great revolution in the history of scientific and technological development, which opened the era when machines replaced manual labor. This is not only a technological change, but also a profound social change. The first industrial revolution replaced manual workshops with factory system and manual labor with machines. In social relations, the industrial revolution made the yeoman peasant class attached to the backward mode of production disappear, and the industrial bourgeoisie and the industrial proletariat formed and developed.

With the machine production gradually replacing manual operation in industrial production, the traditional handicraft industry can no longer meet the needs of machine production. In order to better manage production and improve efficiency, capitalists began to build workshops and arrange machines to hire workers for centralized production. In this way, a new form of production organization-factory appeared. Factories have become the most important organizational form of industrial production, playing an increasingly important role. The development of machine production has promoted the innovation of transportation. In order to transport goods and raw materials quickly and conveniently, people try their best to transform the means of transport.

1825, Stephenson personally drove a 34-car train, and the test drive was successful. Since then, the human transportation industry has entered an era driven by steam. Around 1840, Britain's large machine production basically replaced the traditional factory handicraft industry, and the industrial revolution was basically completed. Britain became the first industrial country in the world. /kloc-At the end of 0/8, the industrial revolution gradually spread from Britain to Western Europe and North America. Later, it spread to other parts of the world.

/kloc-the technological revolution initiated from Britain in the 0/8th century brought about changes in the production field and needed power support. The improvement of steam engine promoted the popularization of machines and the establishment of large-scale factory system, thus promoting the innovation in the field of transportation. This great revolution in the history of technological development initiated the era of replacing manual labor with machines.
