Inventions and technical changes during the 18th century
18th century was like a rebirth for the world because it witnessed many changes like cultural change, economical change, ideological changes, trade changes, political changes, technological changes, etc. Here we shall discuss more about the technological changes and inventions. There were inventions of many new technologies like T - shaped cars, nuclear and atomic bombs, jet planes, electric trains, etc. These inventions of 18th century are among the ones which effected the world mostly.
• T - Shaped : These weren't known to people at that time. When the assembly line production of Ford T - Shaped car was started by Henry Ford, these varieties became popular among people. Due to assembly line production, their cost was decreased so that poor people can even afford them.
• Nuclear and Atomic Bombs : These both terms and things were quite popular among the both World Wars. There was no other war like World Wars before, the reason is because World Wars saw the usage of chemical weapons. We still are aware of the effect caused in Hiroshima and Nagasaki which is felt even now. Nuclear Weapons also gave riss to many dominant powers in the world. Also many treaties have been also happened, for the safe usage of these.
• Jet Planes : Jet planes were invented in early 18th century. The first model of jet plane was designed using wooden base. But later on, many developments led to its modifications. It won't be surprising to read, that by some years of its invention jet planes were equipped with bombs and missiles which led to invention of Fighter Jet Planes.
• Electric Trains : Although steam engines, were invented earlier but invention of electric trains us considered a major development in the history. This is because electric trains were easier to use and produce. They were faster, reliable and didn't use coal/steam to produce energy. This led to invention of electric cars on same procedure and other electrical vehicles.
Technological changes impacted human life a lot. If we look back at our history, then there is no time when technologies were modified for human use. How did technology impacted human life ?
- They made human life more easier.
- They made the work done more precise and accurate.
- The work done is faster and more reliable.
- If we look in terms of economic field, then technologies provide cheaper labour.
- They gave solution to problems of human like vehicles for travelling, gadgets for working with world by sitting at a place, etc.
Many other technical changes included introduction of phones, telegraph, etc. All these inventions led to development of civilisation, colonialisation and wars.

Expansion of USA and displacement of indigenous people.
Indigenous peoples, also referred to as First people, Aboriginal people, Native people, or autochthonous people, are culturally distinct ethnic groups who are native to a particular place. The term indigenous was first, in its modern context, used by Europeans, who used it to differentiate the indigenous peoples of the Americas from black people who were brought to the Americas as slaves from Africa. It may have first been used in this context by Sir Thomas Browne in 1646, who stated "and although in many parts thereof there be at present swarms of Negroes serving under the Spaniard, yet were they all transported from Africa, since the discovery of Columbus; and are not indigenous or proper natives of America."
Peoples are usually described as indigenous when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with a given region. Not all indigenous peoples share this characteristic, as many have adopted substantial elements of a colonizing culture, such as dress, religion or language. Indigenous peoples may be settled in a given region (sedentary) or exhibit a nomadic lifestyle across a large territory, but they are generally historically associated with a specific territory on which they depend. Indigenous societies are found in every inhabited climate zone and continent of the world except Antarctica. It is estimated that there are approximately five thousand indigenous nations throughout the world.
Since at least the 15th century, indigenous peoples' homelands have been invaded and occupied by European colonizers, who initially justified colonization under the authority of the Catholic Church to spread Christianity through the Doctrine of Discovery. Thousands of indigenous nations throughout the world remain occupied by about two hundred political constructs known as states which formed as a result of colonialism. Indigenous peoples continue to face threats to their sovereignty, economic well-being, languages, ways of knowing, and access to the resources on which their cultures depend. Indigenous rights have been set forth in international law by the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the World Bank. In 2007, the UN issued a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) to guide member-state national policies to the collective rights of indigenous peoples, including culture, identity, language and access to employment, health, quality education and natural resources.
Estimates of the total global population of Indigenous peoples usually range from 250 million to 600 million. This is because official designations and terminology on who is considered Indigenous vary widely between countries. In settler states colonized by Europeans, such as in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania, Indigenous status is generally unproblematically applied to groups descended from peoples who lived there prior to European invasion and settlement. In Asia and Africa, where the majority of indigenous peoples live, indigenous population figures are less clear and may fluctuate dramatically as states tend to underreport the population of indigenous peoples or define them by different terminology.
