Yes there was an Industrial Revolution in Greece. It was not as big as in the UK, but there was a massive change. By 1856, 50% of the population of the Hellenic Republic was living in cities, as people abandoned agriculture for work in the factories. Most factories in Greece were opened by forigen venture capitalists. Major coal mining projects were started int he North of the country, including the introdution of the cable car into industrial use. A steam railway was built in 1790, and construction began on the Athens underground in 1896. 1,000,000 people were living in Athens by 1890. During the period of expansion of the Hellenic Republic (1860-1925), Greece was at its terretorial height. The Hellenci Republic ruled over Greece, Cyprus, Western Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Southern Albania. There were various social changes as well as economic change.
