You probably know some of the signs of industrialization in the nineteenth century: Trains connected cities, symbolizing progress. But they also brought about the destruction of rural lands, divisions between social classes, and rapid urbanization. But there’s a whole lot more to talk about in this episode of History of Science!

can't a modern machine gun be considered a gunpowder engine?
The Industrial Revolution was such a significant time for mankind. It's amazing to see how many technological advances were made during this time.

Why do i need to know this. Why are they not learning us how to do taxes or other stuff like that
Who else is here because COVID-19 is forcing you to have school at home 🙁
Do a crash course "Porn"!!
how can i get the sources he refers to?
Please slow down your speech
So are you conveniently skipping Adam Smith's concept of "division of labour" to attribute its advances to the USA?
Where did Mr. Green go? 🙄🙄🙄
I thought Europe had an agricultural revolution in medieval times, when they finally bread horses big enough to pull a plough?
These Industrial revolution's process began in British on 18th century and from there it became spread widily to the other parts of the world. Industrial revolution made the lives of humans easier and the development growth of economy. But it sad to say, that it has negative impact in our environment. That mostly most of us didn't see and care about the negative effects in our environmentand when it comes to our mother earth. I hope we can less using factories that can destroy the mother earth.
Social effects @ 9:01
Industrial Revolution marks the end of the evolution of men: welcome anthropocene!
if you are clean when you get out of the bath how does the towel get dirty
Silly video- the non conformist protestant faith was the key. The protestant work ethic and individual response to a knowable loving just God who was created order. Not left wing nonsense trying to masquerade as science
Industrial revolution and relativily open markets reduced poverty drastically. You don't mention that coz you re a leftist.
Rain,steam,speed
T/wooooooooooooosh
wow never knew the river Thames was pronounced like that at 7:48
I would not have minded if this series had had 400 episodes…
Thanks Cole for the Industrial Revolution.
Thanks for the info
It's a shame you skipped the ancestry of the steam engine. The ancient eolipyle used steam, but was just a curiosity until scientists got to understand pressure, develop tools to handle it, which set the scene for Savery's and later engines: first Torricelli understood the role of air pressure, then Pascal tested it by climbing up mountains and church towers with a column of mercury in hand – evaluating the size of the atmosphere in the process. Von Guericke, following them, built an air pump and tested it spectacularly. Robert Boyle improved that pump to study gases, and Denis Papin, experimenting for him, got the idea of the pressure cooker. Finally, looking to something safer than gunpowder to run engines, Papin made the first piston in 1690. 8 years later the savery engine was patented.
The story is interesting IMO because (1) it brings to light key people that didn't make it to your series so far (Pascal! Boyle!); (2) it shows (again) that science is not national: this story travels from Italy to France to England with power and prosperity. (3) it shows the importance of the royal society, which employed Boyle and Papin (Papin had to leave France because of his religion), and set challenges like pumping water out of mines.
Correction for 7:04 Dreadnoughts weren't a thing until the 20th century with the launch of the HMS Dreadnought in 1906. You're probably thinking of Ironclads. There were ships named HMS Dreadnought before this but none represented the same revolutionary break in naval warfare as the HMS Dreadnought did.
" We did something! " hilarious! 😄
11:51 Am I the only one bothered by the fact that "all of these nice people" has suddenly changed to "these people"? Who's not being nice to Hank?? Be nice people!
Look tired… lectures of 2-3 years ago were more energetic.

History of technology and engineering needed please
I love the bit about America, "We did something!"
Why do you call the Industrial Revolution a “trope”? Almost sounds like you don’t think it was really a revolution, when to me it was the BIGGEST revolution. Great video otherwise.
