1.- General situation.

In the XVIII and XIX century we can find the Old Regime and the New Regime.

OLD REGIME:

In the politic of the old regime there was the absolutism and the parlamentarism. The absolutism was based in the King and all his power and there was in almost all Europe. However the parlamentarism was only in England and the decisions of the King were controlled by the Parliament.

The economy was based in the trade (specifically in the over sea trade) and in the mercantilism which consisted in the accumulation of gold.

The society was divided in Privileged and no Privileged.

NEW REGIME:

The politic of the old regime consisted in liberalism or separation of the power in 3. In the economy there was the liberal capitalism and in the society the states disappeared and took place the class society divided in middle class and proletarian.

2.- The period.

The Industrial Revolution started in the United Kingdom in 1750 until 1914 with the 1^st world war.

-It had two periods and a big depression. The 1^st period was from 1750 to 1870, the big depression from 1870 to 1900 and the 2^nd period from 1870 to 1914.

3.- The beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in England.

England was the motor of the Industrial Revolution because it had some conditions and special factor.

The conditions were the increase of the agrarian production, the abundant workmanship and enough capital to invest in the factories.

The special factors were the trade expansion, the technical innovations and the new business mentality.

4.- Main sectors.

The main sectors were the textile industry, the steel industry and the railroad.

With the textile industry started the mechanization and the technical innovations were very important because of the machines. The prime matter was the cotton.

With the increase of the textile industry and the machines the steel industry grew too. The main prime matter was the iron. As a consequence of these two industries appeared the railroad which was the only land transport and an agent of social and economic changes.

5.- The growing of the industry.

The fast growing and expansion of the industry generated 2 Europes: the advanced one was the industrialized (England, France or Germany) and the no advanced was the no industrialized (Spain, Hungary or Russia).

6.- The capitalism.

The capitalism was a new economy system that arises from the Industrial Revolution. It had 2 period and a big crisis. The ideologist was Adam Smith.

In the 1^st period the capital was from familiar origin and there was free trade, one of the basis of the capitalism.

The effects of the big crisis started in 1870 with the over production but it was very strong in 1873. The consequences were the unemployment and the financial capitalism.

The 2^nd period was from the end of the big crisis to the 1^st world war. It appeared new sectors like the electricity and the chemistry. USA and Japan became the new world power out of Europe.
