Compare and contrast the second industrial revolution (late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century) to the first industrial revolution (late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century).
The first and second industrial revolutions championed increased output and dominated more markets for manufactured products. The Second Industrial Revolution was also referred to as Technological Revolution and incorporated rapid industrialization and standardization in the 19th and 20th centuries. First Industrial Revolution elapsed in mid-19th and was marked by slowed inventions in the Industrial sector (Ionescu & Ion., 184). The first phase is recognized for advancements in manufacturing, the invention of machines in industries, and advancements in manufacturing methods.
The second Revolution significantly faced advancements in product technology and manufacturing in railroad networks, sewage services, and telegraph to enhance communication, and water and gas supply were enhanced (Agarwal, Harshit, and Rashi, 1063). Production in the first phase was dominated by steam power, iron, and textiles, while the second Revolution was enhanced by petroleum, chemicals, railroads, steel, and electricity. However, the two revolutions were dependent on each other since the first laid basis for the second Revolution in making significant advancements.
