What is the positive significance of the two industrial revolutions to the development of human history

(1) The Industrial Revolution was an important stage in the history of the development of capitalism, realizing an important change from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society.

(2) In terms of production technology, it led to the replacement of manual labor by machines; factories replaced manual workshops.

(3) The Industrial Revolution was at the same time a profound transformation of social relations. It led to a clear division of society into two opposing classes -- the industrial bourgeoisie and the industrial proletariat.

The Industrial Revolution (The Industrial Revolution) began in the 18th century and 1960s, and in the second half of the 18th century, the progress in Britain has been very significant. It is usually considered to have originated in the Midlands of England, and refers to the early course of capitalist industrialization, i.e., the completion of the transition of capitalist production from workshop handicrafts to machine-based large-scale industry. The Industrial Revolution was a revolution in production and technology that replaced human labor with machines and individual workshop production with large-scale factory production. Since the invention and use of machines became the symbol of this era, historians call this era "the Age of Machines" (the Age of Machines). In the mid-18th century, after the Englishman Watt improved the steam engine, a series of technological revolutions caused a major leap from manual labor to the transformation of power machine production. Subsequently spread to the United Kingdom and even the entire European continent, and in the 19th century spread to North America. It is generally recognized that the steam engine, coal, iron and steel were the four main factors contributing to the accelerated technological development of the Industrial Revolution. Britain was the first country to begin the Industrial Revolution and the first to end it.
