 How did the Industrial Revolution change European society in the 18th and 19th centuries (1700s and 1800s)? How did it change Europe’s relationship to the rest of the world?

European society and culture in the late 19th century was  In between old and new coming trends due to the uprising of new equipment and raw materials that was coming into and from Europe that lead to the industrial revolution. Europe had important patterns that would soon Be picked up by other nations and further increasing trade and  interconnections. Some trends, including the French Revolution, ran the whole time span of the 19th century. Global revolution 1500-1770 changed peoples living changed resulting in changes in the way people think. The choice of time period matters.

During the 19th century was the uprising of tools , equipment was beginning to grow in Europe and further advance Europe in ways other countries were not even at yet. Having new tools and equipment meant that Europe was able to be in front in terms of technologically ahead as apposed  . When speaking about technology and equipment tied in is also medical and academic uprising. Further each event considered individually as monumental as the other lead one way towards the other to the civilisation of Europe but most importantly lead to the industrial revolution.

Europe had little technology at the time, mainly in the work force, factory’s where they were only able to do good. However Europe had realised the importance of technology and how process of making something could be shortened and further not only that but could shorten the labour of workers. Europe began to think of how their technology could be enforced into every day living not just in factories but into villages and small community’s. more and more people slowly took to the idea of having technology in forced into their community as much as possible as the idea that labour could be cut short to the time that originally took to do labour and work long days. Slowly technology is enforced into living in community’s and work and labour Europeans have gained access to technology and want more and more as slowly raw material and even goods were coming in from these equipment’s that they had never had before and they wanted to see more. These raw materials, goods and advanced living enabled Europe to have a step in the industrial revolution. equipment in Europe was getting more advanced and Europe was suddenly a foot ahead of other nations as they began to have new equipment making their work easier and being able to produce raw materials and goods for Europe for their own good and the good of trade. the equipment used for the Europeans lead to the industrial revolution, this being said the equipment made raw materials and that led to the raw goods and materials of Europe to create interconnections and trade for the nation that would benefit in both areas. The Britannica online article “ revolution and the growth of industrial society,1789-1914 says  “the European continent was to an extent divided between two zones of differential development. Changes such as the industrial revolution  and political liberalization spread first and fastest in western Europe.”

With the use of the equipment new materials were being able to be made such as a printing press and a Steam machine  that helped Europe become a developing country and helped what was known as an illiterate community to become a well-educated and linguist nation. Europe became better in literacy due to how cheap these materials were. When speaking about technology and equipment tied in is also medical and academic uprising. As printing had become more easy to make due to the use of steam to power printing had become easier to make and therefore became easier to purchase for the community, villages and the working class.

How these devices helped Europe was great. The community at the time is mostly seen as illiterate and uneducated due to the fact that everyone’s job at the time is to live day by day and labour for hours on end. The equipment enables the workers to have fast labour and fewer hours. Biggest source of authority in society at the time is  our law – book of law enables you to do freely as long as you don’t take anyone’s  rights -sacralisation. As it happened to be they were illiterate so they were unable to read so whatever was spoken by kings and nobles they believed because they were unable to understand themselves. The printing press was easy to produce and was also becoming cheaper to buy due to the constant reproduction from the equipment they now had their hands on enabled them to become educated and further ask WHY questions to many procedures that the kingdom did as well as the way nobles and kings lived. Enotes released answers as to why the printing press and other machines changed Europe, “ the printing press helped promote European exploration in the fifteen the century. The printing press allowed for information to be communicated faster and to reach more people. As a result of the printing press, people learned about the exploration that took place . they were aware of the benefits of exploring as well as of the risked that existed “.
