In the 1900's there were many factories and Britain had many of these. There were lots of steam engines. Also, there was a larger opportunity for people to be employed because of jobs going on in factories. Britain had less rural area because it was covered by factories.
the advances in global history are the priting press, the telescope, agriculture, irrigation system, the astrolabe, the microscope, steam power, muclear power and many more.
Sources of power before steam were: 1) People; human muscle power did most of the world's work for most of history. 2) Animals: horses, or more usually oxen, mules, donkeys. Even a donkey can power a mill if you harness it to a pole attached to a vertical rotating shaft and drive the donkey round and round in a circle all dy. 3) The wind - windmills are now coming back in a big way! and don't forget sailing ships. sailing ships were still used for trade up to the first half of the 20th century. 4) The strongest sort of power - water. Remember that a watermill did not necessarily just grind corn; water power can drive any sort of machinery, and indeed began the Industrial Revolution, which steam merely amplified.
The exciting first half of the Industrial Revolution, with steam-power, canal transport and intensive farming. The factories were starting to displace cottage-crafts, and the production line was on its way. The nation was suffering humiliation by the American colonists. Intellectuals were in favour of the French Revolution. (They would learn their mistake.) A good time for connoisseurs of painting, silverware and furniture.
The steam generator was one of the most important invention in history. This invention turns high steam or water vapor into energy by using a generator.
Steam power allowed factories to move out of the countryside.
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Machines in factories.
A water-powered factory did not create pollution and could only operate near water, but a steam-powered factory did create pollution and could operate anywhere on land
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Machines in factories
Steam power is used today as a form of power for many things. Some of these include powering factories and mills.
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
yes it did
power machine tools and production machines
steam engines
The steam engine helped to power the Industrial Revolution. Before steam power, most factories and mills were powered by water, wind, horse, or man. Water was a good source of power, but factories had to be located near a river.
