The Results of British Industrial Revolution What is known to all of us is that the British Industrial Revolution took place in the middle of England in 1700s and made a hit all over the world. Nowadays, we are still proud of this great achievement.
There is no denying that this revolution has made a difference in many ways. The first important point emerging in my mind is that this revolution is the replacement of manual labor by machinery. Since the appearance of Watt’s steam engine and Spinning jenny, the increasing number of new inventions followed, which promoting the development of social productive forces. Work begun to be disciplined and mechanized;people changed their workplaces from home to the factory; women and children can also work in the factory with the help of machine; the small-scale production was replaced by the large-scale one... With the surge of technology boom and the ceaseless development of economy, Britain finally
became the industrial power and the industrial trend gradually flowed to all over the world.
Next in importance, the social structure of society changed dramatically during the era. Many workers were forced to move to towns and cities in order to work at the factories. Although the urbanization and economy were ascending, they were still paid low and their resources were extremely tight. The contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie stepped into a more obvious and more serious situation.
Last but not least, its influence to the world also must not be overlooked. Following the UK, France the United States, and other countries had also completed the industrial revolution in the mid nineteenth century. From then on,the industrial boom were spreading at a miracle speed from Europe to the rest of the earth. We could say that the British Industrial Revolution is the origin of nowaday irrepressible economy and our
high-quality life. Without it, we were still live in a backward society and did anything with our hands.
In general, the British Industrial Revolution brings us about so many advantages and some ill effects, just like everything has two side. But one thing that is clear is that the world would not be the same without this revolution. We should cherish all and create more as the ancient people do.。
