First off, the industrial revolution and the French revolution were headed by Napoleonic wars. The Industrial revolution was the beginning of great breakthroughs in the means of transportation. Not so much in the French Revolution, there were actually very poor means of transportation. Both were major turning points for some factor in the society. In the Industrial revolution it was machinery and mass production of goods which had a major effect on the economic well-being of Great Britain and also the population. In the French revolution many new ideas in politics were coming forth. The Industrial revolution also sparked interests in Marxism, Capitalism and Romanticism among other governmental systems. Thats all I've got....for now anyway.

Alyssa-
I like green.
Anyways, the French Revolution wasn't headed by the Napoleonic Wars but I get your point.
Transportation is a key issue, as well as the movement of ideas (political and otherwise). Which political idea do you see as the most significant for the development of this country?
-Mr. Parker
Marta;
I gave you a copy of the Rights of Man in your Orange folder. You can use that to do the Soapauds. I'll bet you can find the other two documents (Declaration Abolishing Feudalism andReflections on the Revol;ution in France) on the web.
I have a copy available in my room also.
Peace,
Mr. Parker
I believe that in both the French Revolution and the Industrial revolution, Constitutional monarchy greatly shaped the happenings. However, both of these had extremely strange conditions. In the French revolution, rather than being elected monarch, Napoleon Bonaparte proclaimed himself as the embodiment of the nation rather than a divine ruler. In the Industrial Revolution most citizens remained distant from the process of elections. The small portion of men who could vote were aristocratic and would most likely not make the choices most desired for the financially troubled or the middle class.

the french revolutionn and the industrial revolution are ranged with each other because without either one, none of these two revolutions would have existed....as the europeans were learning more about technology, inventions such as the spinning jenny and other looming machines were invented.. and so are methods of manipulating steel and iron..these innovations brought the industrial revolution..then these westerners learns about the enlightenment ideas which basically questions thier authorities' power to rule over these people.knowing these,, the french revoled against thier king, louis xvi for being incompetent and a drag to the society..after putting france in a bankruptcy for funding american revolutions, (which connects the french revolution to the haitian revolution and other american revolutions too), the french society (3rd estate) revolted against the 1st and 2nd estates and trampled them down ( since they outnumber the nobles and the clergy)..and that is how these revolutions connect with each other...
well, the industrial revolution and the French revolution were both influenced by new ways of printing and distribution of written documents and books. This helped spread new ideas to people. This means new opportunities, such as certain skills, that people learn and can benefit from in the industry. In the French revolution, those ideas led to questions and disagreements between them.
Also, the industrial revolution was made possible because of the new systems of transportation, both on land(railroads, steam engines) and on the sea(better boats). In the American revolution, transportation was also important to carry supplies, provisions, weaponery, and to defend and fight on the seas, such as their allies like the French navy.
Another similarity is that both the industrial revolution and the other revolutions is that it created changes in their social classes and their politics. The industrial revolution created new working classes to work in factories. In the American and Haitian revolution, it created a whole new country with a new political and social system. In the French revolution it weakened some elite classes to create more equality.
