Some historians divide the Industrial Revolution into two phases: from the 1760s (or earlier) to the 1850s and from the 1850s to 1914. With that in mind:
1. Consider the first phase. Based on the account of Judge and Langdon, what was the Industrial Revolution? Where did it begin? Why did it begin there? What innovations made it possible? Who were the leading figures? What was the factory system and how did it affect everyday life for the worker and his or her family? What demographic changes resulted? How do liberalism and socialism figure into the picture?
2. What political and reform movements grew out of the latter period of industrialization? What role did nationalism play in the formation of the nation state in the second half of the 19 th century (include effects on Germany, Italy, and Austria)? Who were the most important political leaders during this period and what did they accomplish? What roots of modern imperialism appeared in this time? What new industrial innovations were invented?
