The Five Themes Of The Industrial Revolution
The Five Themes of History are present in each topic of history that is available to learn about. Whether is is about an ancient war or an era of great succes or loss, the themes are present. However, the Five Themes are clearly present in the era of the Industrial Revolution. The Five Themes of history are revolutionary change, conflict between groups, economics, technology, and geography. These themes are very important to history because without them, history wouldn’t have happened the way it did. Or at least it would have been less influential than it is now. The Five Themes also help people understand more about what happened and why it happened.

can all be found in the history of this event.
Revolutionary change was evident throughout all of the Industrial
Revolution. Revolutionary change in history refers to periods of extreme change in history that divides it into eras. These changes occur in the areas of technology, politics, economics and conflict between groups, some of which are the other Themes of history. An explosion in the population is just one example of a revolutionary change during the Industrial Revolution.
The huge growth in population was due mainly to urbanization and the advances in technology and farming. Society was creating new technology that made it easier to produce more goods and foods, which made it easier to support the people, and even more. Also, scientists found out more new things that contributed to the elimination of diseases that were common before. The Industrial Revolution itself is a great example of revolutionary change, considering it is even included in the name. The Industrial
Revolution brought new technology, new ways of thinking, and so many more things that has shaped the way we live now. The development of cars, railroads, and airplanes are all attributed to the Industrial Revolution. So much of our life now can be credited to the Industrial Revolution, which most certainly shows that it is a revolutionary change.
Conflicts between groups is evident wherever you look. But ultimately, it shapes history, like it did in the Industrial Revolution.
Ethnic groups, social classes, political groups, and even nations are all part of the conflicts that happen between groups. These conflicts have always occurred in history and will continue to, as long as there is history to be made. One of the main conflicts in the Industrial Revolution was the factory workers revolting against the higher power, also known as their employers. In the time of the Industrial Revolution, the amount of child labor was beyond normality. Not only were they treated badly and got beatings, but no one could say anything about it because it would mean that they would lose their job and their families would be in grave trouble. Not only the children, but also the workers deserved much more than they got payed. During the Industrial Revolution, there was a lot of countries competing for resources, which caused a significant amount of conflict. Since the population was growing, countries had a high demand for more resources to support their growing population. However, limited resources were still in full effect and there was a lot of competition for them. Not to mention the fact that big companies were draining the resources, which made it even harder to acquire them. There was a lot of conflict for resources, as there still …show more content…
is. Economics is the reason for all the major historic changes, including the ones in the Industrial Revolution. The economy is as big of deal now as it was in the earlier years. All the important changes in human history are in someway related to economics, for it is the cause of rising conflicts between groups. An increase in global trade is a very good example of economics. Trade brought more revenue for the countries that participated in trade, which increased their value and attitude. Factory labor is another example of economics. With more people being employed, more goods and products could be produced. This led to the mass production of goods, which ultimately led to a lot of money for the factories and their owners. This was a huge benefit for all the factories and business owners.
Technology is a huge part of everyone's life, but the technology that was brought up in the Industrial Revolution has shaped our life in more ways than one. Technology has the power to change society, for better or for worse. New technology usually corresponds with major economic changes. The invention and improvement of electric lighting was a huge in the Industrial Revolution. It elongated the day, which made it easier for people to do things since now they didn't have to rely on natural light for their productivity. This then led to longer working hours, especially in factories. Electric light was truly a huge part of the Industrial Revolution. The Steam Engine was one of the most well known inventions during the Industrial Revolution. It was originally made by Thomas Newcomen to pump water out of mines. James Watt improved the original steam engine and his improvement made it the power source of the Industrial Revolution.
In the Industrial Revolution, geography had a huge impact on historic events and the changes that occurred over time.
Geography affects many things including the economic resources a country has available to it, a country’s development and culture, and it even affects a country's technological and economic development. Resources were found in different countries all throughout the Industrial Revolution. This made trade really flourish because countries that didn’t have a particular goods or resource trade with the country that did and vice versa. However, the resources in different countries caused conflict and competition, which is another theme of history. Another example of geography was the resources that were being used as energy. Since different countries had access to different kinds of materials, each country developed their own power sources using what they had at hand. Some of these power sources were made using coal and even water, making a hydropower power
source.
The Industrial Revolution was a time of branching out and finding out new things and each theme had a major role in the shaping of this significantly important event. Each theme, while being important on its own, influenced the other themes. Technology had a huge impact on almost all of the other themes. All the factors of the Industrial Revolution had a major impact. From the Germ Theory of Disease proposed by Louis Pasteur, to romantically classic music style of Ludwig van Beethoven, the Industrial revolution was a time of greatness. Not only did the Industrial Revolution have a huge impact on its time, but it continued throughout time to affect us now in the present, and will continue to affect everyone into the future.
