The industrial revolution lead to what next major historical event?

The industrial revolution lead to what next major historical event?
World War I
Reply:great depression.
Reply:Lots of tanks, planes, and followed by a fat man and little boy that came and left in a flash
Reply:The Civil War. With new industrialized states in the North no longer needing slave labor for export, the anti slavery movement grew strong in the north. This caused a great rift between the two sides, as the South was still greatly reliant on slavery.
Reply:Everything else that followed the Industrial Revolution happened next. You could get 1000 people to answer this question with a 1000 different answers and they would all be correct. Everything in the present and future is based upon what happened in the past.
Reply:That could be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...





many things.





Space exploration. Globalization. Pollution. World War I.





Labor Strife. Urbanization. Economic Growth.





Massive scale extration of natural resources.





***************************


If I had to chose just one, I%26#039;d agree with what VG said, and go with Labor Uprisings. Strikes and Revolutions; Political Change. Although the word %26quot;EVENT%26quot; (singlular) no idea.





Also, it depends on what you mean exactly by the %26quot;Industrial Revolution.%26quot; Are you talking World History, US History, British History, European History.





Catch phrases like %26quot;Industrial Revolution%26quot;, or %26quot;The Dark Ages%26quot; are falling out of favor with Historians because they%26#039;re too broad and make Historic transitions and phases seem like changes that happen at the flip of a switch.





What marks Industrialized society? The steam engine? The assembly line? Transportation Networks? Rise in Output?
Reply:The industrial revolution led to many major historical events. You can say the next big historical events were the labor movements. They came from the industrial revolution due to terrible working conditions, work becoming easier-hence skilled workers needing protection from money hungry industrialists, etc. The Ford factory line also came from the ind. rev. While the industrial revolution didn%26#039;t lead to the world wars...it was definately a cause for the huge death tolls due to the widespread manufacturing of new terrifying weapons. The baby boom was a also a product of the industrial revolution due to the ease of producing food and transporting it...therefore huge population growth. I guess it can be contributed to many major historical events throughout the 20th century up to the present.
