Second Industrial Revolution Concept Map Overview

The Second Industrial Revolution ran from about 1870 to 1914. It was driven by steel production, electricity, petroleum, and chemicals, along with new transport such as railways and steamships. Its main branches cover technology, industry, economy and society, and the way these areas affected each other.

Steel: Bessemer and open-hearth processes made strong, cheap metal.
Electricity: Generators, lighting and electric motors reshaped factories and cities.
Petroleum: Oil and the internal combustion engine powered new vehicles.
Mass production: Assembly lines and standardized parts raised output and lowered costs.
Social change: Urban growth, labor movements and a larger middle class.
