Hi there!
Today, in Social Sciences lesson, we have reviewed the contents of the other
day. After that we have finished the
scheme of the first Industrial Revolution:
The
consequences of the first Industrial Revolution were: there was more production
of products and they needed to transport
these products from factories to markets.
The
main inventions were the use of coke coal in a blast furnace to produce pig iron,
invented by Abraham Darby; and the Bessemer converter, invented by Henry
Bessemer. The Bessemer converter was used to convert the iron into stell.

After this,
Paqui has explained the Transport Revolution:
The cause of the Transport Revolution was the
need for moving products from factories to markets.
The main
changes in this revolution were the amelioration of traditional infrastructures,
like roads, river canals… and the use of steam engine in some vehicles. The steam
engine was used in the locomotive, invented by Stephenson and the steamboat, by
Robert Fulton.

The
consequences of the revolution were:
-The speed
increased. Paqui has told that the people were afraid because the locomotive
travelled at 20 kilometers per hour!
-Travel
duration and expenses reduced.
-People’s
trips and trade increased.
We have also spoken about capitalism: it was an economic system where the bourgeoisie were in charge of the means of production and the proletariat were in charge of the labour power. Both things together produce profit.

At the end
of the lesson Paqui has told us that the first railway line in Spain was between
Madrid and Aranjuez and it was for the royal family. Then, it arrived at Campo de
Criptana in 1854.

I think we spoke about capitalism in this lesson too, because someone asked about it.
Bye!
