This enormous movement known as the industrial revolution first started out in Great Britain later on spreading to the western world in the following decade.

For example when Otto states that â€Å"France is in the race to industrialise† he means that France is â₠¬Å"racing† against other countries to see who can achieve the newest technology available to them at the time. To carry on the creation of newer technology is what made the western world interested in the industrial revolution. These newer technologies included things such as iron making, steam power, and textiles. These new inventions sparked the interest of the western world, particularly the US because of the faster production rate speed for any goods or products. For example a textile machine would be able to spin and produce cotton over forty times faster than a human possibly could. Another example of a technology would be the newfound invention of steam power, with steam power humans could rely on transportation such as trains that operated on steam.

Once the technologies of the ind ustrial revolution came overseas to the U.S. the positive changes seen were immense. After technologies such as the textile machines were implemented the immediate response of the U.S. was to implement these new machines into factories where the use of manual labor wouldn’t be needed as much.
