Industrial+Revolution+and+Intellectual+Development

**1800-1870**  **Kaylee, Eliza, Hannah** Industrial Revolution and Intellectual Development This was the second push for more advanced technology and it was also a time when many new ideas about government systems were created. A couple of the most famous inventions were the light bulb by Thomas Edison and the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. These inventions were created because of the discovery of electricity. Some of the other inventions of the era were the Kodak camera created by Eastman and the gasoline powered car invented by Daimler and Maybach. There were also some important discoveries made in this time. For example Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio waves across the Atlantic Ocean. Next there were many ideas about how a government should be run and how the power should be distributed. Some believed that a classless society was what a country needed this theory was called the Marx’s Theory after Karl Marx who published his idea in //The Communist Manifesto//. There were multiple parties that followed Marx’s theories mixed in with their own beliefs. Two of these such parties were called the socialists, which worked in parliament to help the working class, and the revisionists, who believed there would be no revolution and thought communism would be achieved through organizing political parties to form that system. The World War I was fought to prevent the spread of this super powerful and controlling government system. Last the inventions of this era are probably the most popular inventions created because from modifying them we have the cars we use today, the lights and electricity we use, and finally, the cell phones. These inventions make communication, transportation and the manufacturing of goods much easier and greatly affect our economy. Lastly World War I was fought to keep America free and had a tremendous effect on the world today.
