The IR was a slow but radical change from manual labour to the use of machines.
The FR was a political revolution in which the working class ended the reign of the government, which was a monarchy, by means of a fast, bloody conflict.
The inventions of creative leaders who improved technology to such an extent that capitalism came into being, i.e. the use of money in the production of goods and services so that even more money could be made.
The suppressive government by the minority group, the king and his aristocracy, which gave rise to the communistic dream of a worker’s paradise.
1776 “The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith, in which he encouraged private initiative, i.e. that maximum wealth and success could only be achieved by individuals because people want to promote their own prosperity and the nation could benefit from this.
Rousseau (1712 – 1778) wrote in his “Social Contract” that the power should rest in the people and not in the king. He composed the motto of the French Revolution: liberty, equality and fraternity.
The IR led to urbanisation, because factories and mines were built close to the sources of energy. This led to unplanned cities to house the poor workers. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer.
Napoleon Bonaparte was appointed as head of the French army by the directorate of France in 1795 to end corruption. His armies were welcomed by the suppressed people everywhere as liberators and this led to the spread of the ideals of the FR. Nationalism (a fiery love for your country) arose in this manner.
