Imperialism played a major role in the economic successes of the Western nations of Europe, namely Great Britain. It was apparent that without the Industrial Revolution, the organization of the nation-state, and the advancement of trade through imperialism during the nineteenth century, the growth of Great Britain's empire may not have been so tremendous. Although England was already a leading European colonial power in the early nineteenth century, rapid expansions were still to be made due to the
The two main industrial revolutions occurred roughly from 1760 to 1830 and from 1840 to around the start of the First World War. The first Industrial revolution began in Great Britain and spread throughout Western Europe and North America. This revolution introduced major technological advancements in the areas of textile production, iron production, and steam power, and well as inventions such as the industrial lathe, milling machine, and metal planer. The Second Industrial Revolution built upon the
world history and is currently influencing present day society. I concur with Kaplan’s theory that it is impossible to say that geography has not affected the way people have conducted their lives.

Chapter 1: A Stone Age Brew 1. What were the consequences of the Agricultural Revolution? The consequences of the Agricultural Revolution were switching hunter-gathers into farmers. People stopped migrating and settling in one place to build a civilization, which eventually became cities or towns. Eventually, crops were diagnosed and made were made more healthful by early development of technology and record system. 2. What is the archaeological evidence that supports the cultivation, harvesting
and industrial variations. Not only do these factors help in developing the country in terms of economic monopoly and sustainability, but they are also important in shaping the country’s history when it is scrutinized later in search for learned lessons to be pursued in the future. Canada, for example, at some point revolutionized its industries that initiated a state of competition between Canada and other developed countries. Particularly, during Canada’s second industrial revolution (1890-1945)
