In the United States Thomas Edison created the light bulb, and homes, businesses, and factories used the affordable resource for convenience and productivity.

The internal-combustion engine revolutionized transportation with the automobile, while the airplane made its appearance as well.

The assembly line allowed for more efficient mass production of goods.

The Second Industrial Revolution (cont.) http://www.webdesign-guru.co.uk/icon/wp-content/uploads/world-globe-europe-256.png The Working Class Industrialization gave some a higher standard of living, but struggling workers turned to trade unions or socialism to improve their lives. MainIdea http://faculty.tcc.fl.edu/hss/wallert/NomadcMindsWebPg/coaldust.jpg The transition to an industrialized society was hard on the workers, who often worked dangerous jobs for poor wages and lived in crowded slums. Some reformers of the capitalist society wanted a better environment for the working class. More radical reformers wanted to abolish capitalism in favor of socialism. Many socialist ideas were based on the theory of the German Karl Marx. The Working Class (cont.) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nAgBWifUJuI/Tm-CT88pQmI/AAAAAAABIlE/G8zk1laD4a8/s400/Slumsny3.jpg The Communist Manifesto outlined Marx’s beliefs that industrial capitalism was to blame for the problems besetting society. Marx believed that the proletariat would violently overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a classless society, run by a dictatorship form of government. The Working Class (cont.) http://sodeglo.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/communist-manifesto.jpg?w=540 In many European nations, working-class leaders formed socialist parties based on Marx’s ideas, but were divided on their goals. Pure Marxists wanted revolution to defeat capitalism, while revisionists argued that political gains were the key to change. To improve their conditions, workers organized into unions for better working conditions and used strikes as their bargaining tool.

The introduction of assembly lines made mass production of goods more efficient. Industrialization raised the standard of living for many people in Europe. Harsh conditions caused many people to turn to socialism and trade unions. By the early 1900s, Europe dominated the world economy. CH20_VS_1
