were used to power
trains
,
boats
, and
factories
during the
Industrial Revolution.
The invention of the steam engine enabled the
mechanization
of
textile production through the development of steam-powered looms.
The second industrial revolution:
mass production
Steam engines
were used to power
trains

such as
taxation
,
tariffs
, and
subsidies
influenced
economic development
during this period.
Social changes
including
urbanization
,
migration
, and the rise of
new classes
impacted society during the
Industrial Revolution.
Industrialization
brought about significant improvements in
health
and
sanitation
, leading to longer
life expectancy.
Industrialists invested heavily in new
technology
and
machinery
to increase
efficiency
and reduce
costs.
