The Industrial Revolution happened in the 1800s. It was a time period in which machines, tools, etc. were invented.  It was a time in the past where new things were being invented every day, and it all started in London, England around the 1700s.

The Industrial Revolution took place near the English Channel, North Sea, Norway, Ireland, France and Germany. During the Industrial Revolution many things were discovered and created, like the Steam Engine and coal powered items. Also in the Industrial Revolution, the gap between the rich and poor grew tremendously.

In the 1850s the men wore ties, collard shirts, and top hats. Tuxedos also became more popular in the 1850s for casual events. The women wore white puffed sleeves. Realistic flower trimmings were added on to the dresses and flowered skirts were beginning to be worn.

The British Military in the Industrial Revolution fought most of their battles by sea. The Navy wore red coats; and for weapons, they had muskets and bayonets.

The architecture had lots of round doorways, made out of bricks, which was used in parks and outdoor buildings like Big Ben and the Victorian style houses. The insides of the houses were very detailed. Also; in some of the houses, there were statues.

During the Industrial Revolution, the rulers of England were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. They were the ones who made the rules of England.

London, England became rich from free trade, railoroads, buisness pricesm, export of capital, and imperialism. They made money off of railroads by exporting them to the world.They also got rich by mining coal and steel and selling the items that they made out of it.

England’s culture wasn’t very fascinating. For fun they would play games like good ball, tennis, and chess. The only book they ever read was the dictionary.

Philosophy and Theology during the 1800s was the belief in christianity and protestant.The Church during the Industrial was split into two groups, the protestants and the christians.

In the Industrial there were lots of discoveries and inventions. Some inventions were the cotton gin invented by Eli Witney, The steam engine improved by James Watt, and the Colt Revolver invented by Samuel Colt. They also found new ways of manufacturing. With the new process using Steam Power they were able to make products more efficiently. (Steam power was invented by Thomas Newcmon).

The education in the past, in England, wasn’t so good for the poor. For the upper class students they had private tutors. They learned math, english, and latin. The poor were either not educated or home schooled.
