The Industrial Revolution

• was a rapid introduction of modernizing technology in Britain's colonies.

Using the above map, observe that European railways

• were more concentrated in France and Germany before they appeared in the United Kingdom.

• tended to be built first in Eastern Europe before spreading westward.

• were built in France before they were built in the United Kingdom.

• in the United Kingdom first appeared near London and were later built in northern England.

• were built in northern England before they appeared in southern England.

Using the above map, observe that European railways

• were not built in Russia until 1836.

• were not built in France until 1826.

• were not built in Russia until after 1876.

• were built in Russia, France, and Serbia by 1856.

• were not built in Greece until after 1876.

Using the above map, observe that during the Industrial Revolution

• nearly all of Eastern Europe was connected by rail in 1848.

• rail lines connected Paris to France's southern coast by 1848.

• France had a more comprehensive rail network than the United Kingdom in 1848.

• Poland had no rail lines in 1848.

• rail lines connected London to many parts of the island of Britain by 1848.

Given the early history of the chemical industry combining with advent of fossil fuel use in industry, we can hypothesize that its twentieth-century contributions to the textile industry would include

• food processing and purification.

• the creation of synthetic fabrics.

• bleaching and dyeing.
