Coal, Steam, and The Industrial Revolution: Crash Course World History #32

In which John Green wraps up revolutions month with what is arguably the most revolutionary of modern revolutions, the Industrial Revolution. While very few leaders were beheaded in the course of this one, it changed the lives of more people more dramatically than any of the political revolutions we've discussed. So, why did the Industrial Revolution happen around 1750 in the United Kingdom? Coal. Easily accessible coal, it turns out. All this, plus you'll finally learn the difference between James Watt and Thomas Newcomen, and will never again be caught telling people that your blender has a 900 Newcomen motor.

    The second half of the video is very simplistic. Firstly, Europe had a long history of mechanized production way before the steam engine and "cheap coal". Water powered and mechanized mills appeared in Europe as back as the 12th century. And there were aspects of industrialism way before the industrial revolution. For examle, let´s look at paper. Although invented in China in 105 AD, it was always a small production artisan process to make it. It´s only when it came to Europe that we first see economies of scale and mechanization. The first paper mill dates to 1276 Italy. When Johannes Gutenberg invented his printing press in 1440, it was a matter of entrepreneurialism, not just individual genius or "making inventions". He studied in a university, traveled to Strasbourg, made a business deal with merchants who provided him with venture capital for the development. Which he then used to assemble a team of artisans, who provided several years of engineering and inventions of their own to make it happen. Trying to beat the competition breathing on their back... And of course, the only reason the printing press was ever useful was because by that time paper was produced in giant mills, where cloth rags were beaten to a paper pulp by water powered hammers. The printing press then fueled Renaissance and education, wich fueled inovation and so on. You mentioned how the textile industry started it all, but the "flying shuttle" was invented by John Kay in 1733 and the "spinning jenny" was invented by James Hargreaves in 1764. The first textile factory of Comford Mill was built by Richard Arkwright in 1772 and was powered by water wheel. So by the time James Watt invented his steam engine in 1778, to make it´s impact, the industrial revolution already begun.

    I feel like there was a lot here about the outcome and not much about the process... The industrial revolution completely reformed British society, as people gathered from the countryside to form huge cities in order to work in factories. This sudden and unprecedented change came with all sorts of problems, and working conditions were horrendous, but the new working order and lowered costs of mass produced items like bread and clothes, along with their newly available education, gave former peasants the chance to rise and create the middle class. The railway network that drastically altered Europe paved the wartime supply lines, while steamboats improved cross-atlantic trade: things which had great impact on the people's way of life. Those dense industrial cities still exist, although their trade wealth is gone, factories replaced by offices; the clustered red brick houses still stand; the canals run between them; Ireland still makes expensive linen, and until the 80s Wales still mined coal. Even the co-operative is still running banks, supermarkets and funeral care.

    In the parting of ways, yes it does say that. But in Journey to the center of the TARDIS, the dying star: "The Eye of Harmony" is said to have powered it, that was the whole focus of the episode.

    If you read down the comments you get arguments about coal production and economic environments, ect.. But the one thing you don't get is the one glaring difference from every where else. The concept, idea, and craze (fad) of invention to get rich. The spinning jenny was the first invention to make it's inventor rich. The idea that you could invent something and get rich was what made the industrial revolution.

    Great video, John, just one objection: it was iron rather than steel that, along with coal, fueled the whole thing up in the beginning, including that virtuous railroad cycle that you mentioned - and that for the better part of the nineteenth century. My source is Hobsbawm, who claims that even the "Age of Capital" (ending in 1875) was still an age of iron, not one of steel.

    how is my project? The Industrial Revolution The industrial revolution was the transition to new manufacturing ways in the period of 1760-1840. This transition included going from products made by hand to by machines. The machines were running on steam power, this made the production of products easier. The steam engine was used in mining, used to draw water from the ground so the mines don't flood. The steam engine was perfected by James Watt, and in honor of him, they named a unit of power after him. The industrial revolution started in Great Britain and quickly spread across Europe and the Americas. Also, many technological innovations were originally British ideas. Britain became the worlds leading commercial nation by the mid-18th century from trading with colonies in North America and the Caribbean. The industrial revolution influenced most of the modern things today (cars, television, phones etc.). One reason Great Britain was the worlds leading commercial nation was the high wages, Britain also had coal which made steam engines run with could be paid for by the high wages. Before the industrial revolution, 80% of the world's population was in farming to keep its self and the other 20% from starving. Today less than 1% of people are in farming. The invention of the flying shuttle by John Kay increased the speed of weaving which created a demand for yarn, which led to the creation of the Spinning Jenny and the water frame. The steam engine made the flying shuttle better, which needed the Spinning Jenny and the water frame to improve too. The steam engine powered trains and steamboats and also made more efficient cotton mills. For the first time, other chemicals besides stale urine were being used to bleach clothes people wore. The first of these chemicals was sulfuric acid. Why did Britain experience the industrial revolution first? Its an argument between people, some argue that science and invention that made the creation of these technologies possible. Another argument is Freer political institutions encouraged innovation and strong property rights which created incentives for inventors. Also, there is its small population, and small populations need labor-saving inventions. The steam engine has never really been approved upon since James Watt changed it. almost all energy run on a steam engine, whether its a nuclear or coal power its just basically a steam engine. Britain had two major advantages in the industrial revolution. 1: coal, this is because the thing that made the industrial revolution go was a steam engine which ran on coal. 2: wages, Britain had the highest wages in the world, most likely due to the black death killing off a lot of its population, so it tightened labor market to influence them to want to work with the high wages.
