(Norwegian)Camilla Brautaset, førsteamanuensis i historie ved Universitetet i Bergen [...] Den engelske Wikipedia-artikkelen om den industrielle revolusjon er for eksempel skrevet ut fra et britisk perspektiv på historien, mener Brautaset. Camilla Brautaset, associate professor in History at University of Bergen [...] the English article about the Industrial Revolution has a British view on the history, says Brautaset
This month, April 2024, the University of Cambridge announced that they have compiled solid evidence that the British Industrial Revolution started in the 1600s, a century before what this article (and most sources) claim.
https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/nation-of-makers-industrial-britain. This is certainly noteworthy. Their claim is based on millions of records of employment which show a "sharp increase" in manufacturing employment in the 1600s.72.16.96.150 (talk) 04:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should there be a section discussing how the IR propelled Europe's position in the world and this drove imperialism? [1][2][3]
Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable about this, I'm sure there are much better sources. Alexanderkowal (talk) 15:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would say no to talking about the IR effects on imperialism after the IR but a paragraph or couple of sentences in the causes for Britain section talking about the wealth that came with the britsh empire which may have helped setting the IR into motion but I would have to go look for sources to back that up Pikachubob3 (talk) 01:14, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This sentence:
An economic recession occurred from the late 1830s to the early 1840s when the adoption of the Industrial Revolution's early innovations, such as mechanised spinning and weaving, slowed as their markets matured; and despite the increasing adoption of locomotives, steamboats and steamships, and hot blast iron smelting.
