Explain the coal and iron theme of Britain during the first Industrial revolution of 1780-1850. Explain it one the basis of coql and iron induraties too?? ?

Answer 1

Coal and Iron:-

Britain was fortunate in coal and iron and the staple materials for induraties like tin and copper were plentiful available there. But by the 18th century, there was a kind of scarcity of usable iron in England. For centuries, charcoal was used for smelting the iron in England. But charcoal was not very available there due to cutting of trees on a very large scale and also, charcoal was a too fragile non-metal so that it was hard to transport to long distances.

For it's solution, the first Abraham Darby invented a blast furnace in 1709, which could generate high temperatures by using coke as compared to usage of charcoals. And after this invention of first Darby, iron smelting process didn't had to depend upon charcoal no more. In first Darby invention's improvement, the second Darby invented the wrought iron machine. His invention made it possible to use iron in broad range of products. And then the third Abraham Darby invented the first iron bridge of the world in 1779. Their inventions regarding staple machines helped the England industries to grow.

Question :- Explain the coal and iron theme of Britain during the first Industrial revolution of 1780-1850. Explain it one the basis of coal and iron induraties too ?

Answer :-

The Industrial Revolution, now also known as the First Industrial Revolution, was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Europe and the United States, in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increasing use of steam power and water power, the development of machine tools and the rise of the mechanized factory system. The Industrial Revolution also led to an unprecedented rise in the rate of population growth.Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested. The textile industry was also the first to use modern production methods.

Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested. The textile industry was also the first to use modern production methods.The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, and many of the technological innovations were of British origin. By the mid-18th century Britain was the world's leading commercial nation,controlling a global trading empire with colonies in North America and the Caribbean, and with major military and political hegemony on the Indian subcontinent, particularly with the proto-industrialised Mughal Bengal, through the activities of the East India Company.The development of trade and the rise of business were among the major causes of the Industrial Revolution.
