Mongols Shirts and Crash Course Posters!
In which John Green wraps up revolutions month with what is arguably the most revolutionary of modern revolutions, the Industrial Revolution. While very few leaders were beheaded in the course of this one, it changed the lives of more people more dramatically than any of the political revolutions we’ve discussed. So, why did the Industrial Revolution happen around 1750 in the United Kingdom? Coal. Easily accessible coal, it turns out. All this, plus you’ll finally learn the difference between James Watt and Thomas Newcomen, and will never again be caught telling people that your blender has a 900 Newcomen motor.

how long ago was the industrial revolution???
Thank you, Scotland, for the steam engine. It changed the world.
vast majority of technological improvements are gradual, produced by marginal improvements in already existing ideas and technologies. none come from thin area and nothing. but eventually, over time, it all comes together into significant breakthroughs. industrial revolution was simply a result of this, though greatly accelerated due to various circumstances, mainly due to European mentality and spirit.
You're trying too hard to be PC. just say it – white people, in European environment and circumstances, proved to be exceptionally creative, inventive and entrepreneurial. Is it that hard to say the obvious?

Or.. maybe the Brits were just ingenious
.True or False: In 15,000 years, dramatic changes were largely absent with how humans disposed of waste, located drinking water, or acquired clothing. Most people lived on or ver close to the land that procided their food and did not own a single item made outside their community.

10:19 Contentious – causing or likely to cause an argument; controversial.
Industrial revolution was started by a water wheel not coal.
3:16 I see that pun.
i'll be legit sad when this series ends
omg this saved my live
Crash Course has got the Mongols, Extra History has Robert Walpole.
great now I know more yay
Uh… Okay. The Industrial Revolution to me is just like a story I know
called "The Puppy Who Lost His Way." The world was changing, and the
puppy was getting… bigger. So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost
in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy – "society" – knew
where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my
friends, that was a revolution.
You
Not industrial rev
I wonder how many takes was required….
Thanks again for all that you do John and the team, another awesome video. Cheers!
Yup, Europe does have superior culture.

What challenges are historians presented with when providing theories or explanations for past events?? CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Can we have a more parallel comparison between continent: innovations, life, problems and city life

omg TARDIS DOCTOR WHO!! Thanks for making this video. I used it in school

Little objective history, much conjecture based on personal opinion which is decidedly anti-European (not for the first time). Disappointing episode. I don't have problems with anti-Eurocentrism, Slavery/Imperialism/Colonialism, as long as it's objective.
Basically long story short, Industrial Revolution happened in Europe due to luck and circumstance, nothing to be proud of! Coulda, shoulda, woulda happen in India and China.
Could be right to say that Industrial Revolution occured ca. 1750 – 1850?
John Green you ignorant cur the T.A.R.D.I.S runs on time energy thankyou very much, actually findout before you say it! Educate yourself!
