The Industrial Revolution began in the second half of 18th century and had an everlasting effect on Europe, and the rest of the world. It caused major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transport and technology. Eventually, socioeconomic and cultural conditions began to change in Britain, which then spread throughout Europe, then eventually the world. These changes made Europe and the rest of the world more modern. Proof of this can be seen in more efficient trade & transport and

man named James Watt created the steam powered engine (7). The colonists used this for heating up water, and lifting things ten times the weight that a normal human can lift (7). This lead to further research and development for steam engines (7). The way the steam engine works is that the one and only cylinder has to expand to heat up (HISTORY). Then it has to condense to cool off (HISTORY). This cycle collects energy and can be collected by sending in cold water to condense the steam (HISTORY)
