The Industrial Revolution 1750 to 1850 Begins in England Definition: Period in which changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology radically and permanently changed virtually every aspect of social, economic, and cultural life such that structures and values that emerged from the Industrial Revolution remain the defining structures and values of everyday life today. Term revolutionary is misleading Not a single event, but an evolutionary change that happens slowly over 100 years. “Revolution” in that the changes that occurred were dramatic, drastic, and enduring—in short, revolutionary!

The French Revolution 1789-1799 Definition: Period of radical social and political upheaval and change in France. French citizens used violence, government takeover, radical politics, terror, and war to cast off old ideas about tradition and hierarchy monarchy, aristocracy and religious authority and replace them with the principles of equality, fraternity, liberty, citizenship, and inalienable rights. Like the Industrial Revolution, the structures and values that emerged from the French Revolution remain the defining structure and values of life today.
