THE DEFINITION OF THE REVOLUTION
The period of transition from human and animal power to machine power is called the Industrial Revolution in historical perspective. The transformation, which started in England in the middle of the 18th century, firstly affected the weaving industry, then spread to other business lines, increasing the formal methods of production and the quantity of products produced.
The word "revolution" has been used in astronomical research to describe the annual and daily orbital movements of planets and stars in many languages within the Indo-European language family. With the work of "de Revolutionibus Orbium Coelesetium" by Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish scientist, "Revolution" began to be included in socio-political jargon in the early 17th century. With the help of the science of astronomy, he was defined by economist Adolph Blanqui in 1837 as "the collapse and reconstruction of the existing social order by being dragged into chaos" within socio-political discourses. The word "Revolution" is widely used among historians, close to its current meaning, as can be seen in "Lessons on the Industrial Revolution", which was compiled from Arnold Toynbee's lectures at Oxford University and published after his death in 1884.
The second milestone in human history is seen as the Industrial Revolution. With this important event, the daily life style of Western societies underwent a significant transformation; It took its place in history as the only positive precedent in this sense, which did not prevent economic development during the Industrial Revolution. With this aspect, it is also possible to see the Industrial Revolution as an example of economic development. The growth in the scale of production, another striking feature, caused an increase in the mechanical, raw material, market and manufactured goods need of Western societies after the Industrial Revolution. Conventional and simple production methods have been replaced by fabrication production forms that lead to cheap and fast production.
The Industrial Revolution, which became visible in England in the 1750s or 1760s, strikes the observer as an extremely complex process. It was first the culmination of industrialization that had begun centuries ago, and can still be said to be today, as it is constantly being reproduced. This revolution, which was defined as the beginning of a new age in the past, is likely to affect the future for many more years. A revolution that embodies the observable effects of events in the short term. However, the process took quite some time to complete. According to Claude Fohlen, who progresses through individual and calm phases and underlines the continuity by ignoring Rostow; The Industrial Revolution is not like a revolution as any concept or object imaginable.
