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



Mongols Shirts and Crash Course Posters! http://store.dftba.com/collections/crashcourse 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.

  2. Or.. maybe the Brits were just ingenious
  3. .True or False: In 15,000 years, dramatic changes were largely absent with how humans disposed of waste, located drinking water, or acquired clothing. Most people lived on or ver close to the land that procided their food and did not own a single item made outside their community.

  13. Uh... Okay. The Industrial Revolution to me is just like a story I know
    called "The Puppy Who Lost His Way." The world was changing, and the
    puppy was getting... bigger. So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost
    in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew
    where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my
    friends, that was a revolution.
