It is difficult to imagine what would happen to our modern civilization if, in the distant 18th century, various technological innovations would not actively be introduced into industrial production. An indispensable leader in this regard was Great Britain, which managed to create a steam engine, which led to the active development of new self-propelled cars. Later this period was called the "industrial revolution in England", which not only facilitated the work of tens of thousands of people, but also contributed to a new structural stratification of society.
To begin with, with the invention of the internal combustion engine, it became possible to make major improvements in terms of the construction of swimming vessels. For England, this was especially true, since it was at that time a world maritime power, the fortress of which rested on its fleet. In the second half of the 19th century, the appearance of motor ships contributed not only to an increase in its power, but also to the development of civil shipbuilding, since now it became possible to carry passengers on a much larger scale. In addition, active construction of railways began, and the industrial revolution in England helped in this regard to establish a clear transport connection between all the provinces of this country.
The rich natural resources and vast coal reserves allowed the introduction of new technical machines into production, so that its production increased several times. However, if from a technical point of view everything went well, then from the social point of view some difficulties appeared. The fact is that the opening of new factories and plants required a certain skilled workforce, which was attracted from the field of agriculture. That is, there was a redistribution of labor forces, and since the industrial revolution in England completely interrupted the workers' connection with the land, a shortage of labor forces arose in the agricultural sector. People began to move in large numbers to live in cities and get working specialties. However, all this gave rise to another important problem, since now society is strictly classified according to its position. There were owners, there were workers who did not like each other, since the heads of industrial plants and factories paid, as a rule, a rather low salary.
On the other hand, the industrial revolution in England took place over several decades, and as a result of the advent of more and more machines, some working specialties simply disappeared. As a result, there was a high level of unemployment, and the requirements for applicants significantly increased in terms of work qualifications. Thus, between the two classes of the social division of society - the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, serious disagreements have already begun to emerge, which in the future will lead to revolutionary consequences.
The industrial revolution in England and its consequences revealed a large number of antagonistic forces, each of which fought for its own interests. On the one hand, the commercial and banking bourgeoisie put pressure on the authorities in terms of easing laws regarding the financial and credit system, on the other hand, landlords who owned huge land plots, lost people working in the fields, as a result of which they suffered great losses. Owners of manufactories and factories attracted new workers to the factories, however, they did not pay them in full.
Thus, summing up, we can say that the industrial revolution had widespread consequences, since it gave an impetus to the scientific and technological development of mankind, as well as its radical social transformation. The consequences of the industrial revolution in England are still studied by historians and researchers of the most diverse areas of science - from sociologists to politicians and culturologists.
