What if the Industrial Revolution Never Happened? (Ft. List 25) 

Probably

+FantasticMr.Fox Not really that much, if nothing changed every home would burn coal/wood for heat and not use electricity wich would be almost the same if not more hurtfull for the environment

+FantasticMr.Fox the environment would be safer, the population wouldn't be happier. you are referring to global warming, a thing, don't pretend it can have feelings. (also, fossil fuels are going to be replaced hopefully soon, pretend the earth has entered it's teen years and started smoking like crazy, but then the e-cig (or something else) happened in a few years... that. or young death :P)

Farming really impacts the environment. Animals fart methane, and agriculture take lots of space, replacing forests, plains, jungles, etc.

What an idea, why didn't I think of that

No thank you. I like everything about the modern world and no amount of whining about the enviroment will make me give that up

@@aurelia8028 Hahaha nobody talked about that

Yeah exactly. Why did he almost didn't tackle on the topics of the actual things that happened in the world and wouldn't because of the Revolution?

@@aurelia8028 so you like corporations and big government breathing down your neck watching every movement, and more than 50% of workers feeling unsatisfied due to a lack of genuine impactful work? bro keep living in ignorance, contributing to the death of nature, individuality, and human creativity. the chances are high you provide nothing genuine to this world, and you're not even a gear but the grease in the machine

Can't really say they're collapsing. It gets old after people kept saying for decades, it's like saying the apocalypse will happen, then it doesn't happen.

The Unknown Don't forget wild starchy roots and tubers, grass seeds, wild honey, fish, clams, crabs, shrimp, snails, locusts, whatever happens to be available and edible.

elfboi523 Then what the hell are cave paintings other than history, thus writing...? A good point otherwise, though.

The Unknown Most children dying before their 5th birthday. Most of those who live long enough to grow up dying before the age of 60. There are still places on this planet where that's quite common.

The Unknown They usually wouldn't attack an able adult human though, just children and elderly people. And humans would stick together in groups most of the time, keeping their young and old people safe. As long as there is easier prey than humans, there isn't much danger, except from a few individual predators with a taste for manflesh. And those can be identified and killed. Remember, we co-evolved with African predators, and as soon as you can organise a group and make flint-tipped spears, you can kill enough of them to make the survivors look for different prey. You might lose a few thrillseeking adolescent boys and young adult men hunting down the man-eaters, but later generations of predators wouldn't be as likely to hunt humans. A single human, however, or a small number of mostly children and/or old people, would attract predators, and therefore, situations like that were avoided by sticking together. Once the predators know that it isn't safe to get too close to a human tribe, you can be pretty safe just by singing and dancing around the campfire at night, to show off your presence and your strength. Every once in a while, one of your people will get eaten, well, bad luck. You'll have more children killed by sickness or hunger than by predators. A lot more. And you'll still have population growth as long as there is enough fertile land to be explored. Once the Neolithic Revolution takes hold, predators become a huge problem: Sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs, all those are much easier to prey on than their wild ancestors. That's why farmers always want to hunt all the predators to extinction, and to hell with the ecology. Now we have human hunters trying to regulate wild animal populations as good as we can (which means, badly), because we're the only apex predators left. We've got far too many deer and wild boars here in Germany, because the few dozen wolves living in a few locations just can't take care of them. Yet farmers keep shooting or poisoning wolves, even if they might go to prison if they're caught.

That sounds like America after the 2016 election.

Well, no, actually. Mechanics were already a thing for centuries, and happened everywhere. But actual machines and industrialization basically only existed in Europe for a while and came to exist because of the bad living conditions: after the black plague in the 14 century it regularly returned so there was quite a bit of population lack. People needed machines to do the work, as there weren't people to do so. And before we knew it...Boom industry.

it could be possible to focus more on the mechanization of agriculture than on industry so that a farmer could produce with machines more food and he does not need the support of animals and other humans. or somewhere in teh 19th century the ordinary people overthrow their "capitalist" elites and run the fabrics and the economy by tehmselves

wojtekimbier Gosh darn it billy

Not if you have a cheap enough labour force that would result in mechanisation not being worthwhile economically. It happened mostly because the cost of labour in England became weirdly high and subsequently replacing that labour force became a handy plan. This video's biggest problem is that it forgets that.

Well the industrial revolution could've happened in ancient Greece but the dude who invented the steam engine (Aeolipile) gave up on it.

17?0-1860

Illium What?

I'm pretty sure it happened in 1707

***** There was an Act of Union in 1707, but it was the one that unified Scotland and England, not Ireland and the United Kingdom. The Union flag was born in 1707, but it didn't have the saltire of St Patrick(the red 'x' running over the white 'x') until 1801.

+Kyle Edwards Talk when you're sure not pretty sure.

Yes! This is an amazing idea! :D

What if Britain never colonized American

Brendan Fligger that was already done

Brendan Fligger What if There was no pollution.

Yeah, Under capitalism we are all slaves to desire, Saving up for the next new toy is the only thing that keeps us going. I don't want mindless consumption anymore, I just want to be happy. . .

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile

or the romans, who had problems with production and keeping a large empire

+SniperShy96 Then it will become like Atlantis

Greek Bourgeoisie exploiting Persian Proletariat.

+SniperShy96 - in England we created a knitting machine 230 years before our industrial revolution, but our queen wouldn't finance it as knew it would cause unemployment.

The world would be a better place... it's not even Iran's fault, people in Iran today seem to love their country as the Islamic Republic, but it's just Iran's crazy relationship with, well, everyone else... Iran and America hate each other so much it makes the situation in the Middle East a lot more difficult.

awakeningspirit20 well who's fault was it then that cause the coup de that that created the unnecessary monarchy in iran in the first place to pissed off the iranians then?

we would fight against Zoroastrism as the Greek and Romans did

@rétro that comment was 1 year old why did u even bother to correct him?

They have a splinter group form of Islam so in a sense they never had true Islam in iran

Not so great timing for me bc we just finished the chapter on development in AP human geography. ):

+bobtheflyingdonkey AP US History is already deep into the Cold War for me so....fuck...

same here

Large kingdoms existed way before industrialization Like mughal empire in India

the mysterious Which collapsed

@@DakkogiRauru23 yes because of many things happening at right time but there are many that succeeded tho American kingdom could've been one

the mysterious Not really. See, before industrialization, there was no way to produce more food to feed a growing population as much as we have today. There also wasn’t a free market that could address shortages via trade. The state owned everything. Whenever a state started lacking in resources, which was all the time, the only solution was to concur another territory and extract its resources. This led to frequent collapse of kingdoms, no matter how long lived they were. Frequent collapse is the opposite of stable.

@@DakkogiRauru23 and yet the Roman Empire and Egyptian kingdoms lasted for millennia, not quite a series of "frequent collapses". There are no rules to history that happen 100% of the time if certain conditions are met.

@@beans11138 he already did it i believe

Or if Portugal was united with Spain and never left from the middle ages onwards.

India and China already knew Europe before Portugal, they were trading back in Roman times. Do you mean the Americas?

awakeningspirit20 yeah your right because In 100 c.e (a.d) the Indians had been in the Silk Road along with the Chinese

Somebody would take their place probably the Spanish or the French, maybe the Hanseatic cities or Venetians will be their rivals

There wouldn't be a Tordesillas Treaty, meaning the world wouldn't be divided between Castille and Portugal. Since Portuguese domain in Brazilian coasts was legitimized by this treaty, and Castille's discovery of the Americas had more to do with Columbus getting information from Aragonese fishermen, I believe that would result in Spaniards total control of South America and the Caribbean. The stablishment of trading points in India and China are a whole different topic. I imagine any European potency would have arrived sooner or later.

Yes

Very unlikely, yet intriguing nevertheless.

@@Frozo-nt2ky he was a mathematical genius.

+Rob Ski You want another bright side ?? No capitalism. Wealth would remain balanced in all classes, and generally, employance would not be such a problem, meaning that no man would be starving. Also, since colonisation is absent, Africa would remain untouched and nobody would take its resources, meaning that you wouldn't have children in Africa starving. Cultures rarely meet, globalisation would not even be a thing, ammunition would not have been made in such ammounts, ideas would not spread and people would revolt much less, meaning that, generally, there would be less wars and less bloodshed. I also belive that, even without medicine, people would not die or be sick from diseases that much, because people travel much less without modern transport, and so, diseases themselves would have hard time spreading. And yes, we would have healthier people and safer enviroment, because, besides global warming, air pollution that has strong effect on pulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchitis, even lung cancer) would be absent. There would be no drugs, because they wouldn't be able to travel from distant parts in Asia and South America. There would be no tobacco, too, reasulting in, again, healthier population. I see a brither world without Industrial Revolution.

Samsung Galaxy Good points. Although I think the tobacco trade began before the industrial revolution. And I think our life expectancy would be much shorter and our health care system would be a total joke by today's standards.

+Rob Ski Yah you're right, I said it wrongly. Sure, there would BE tobacco, but it wouldn't be able to TRAVEL so quickly without steamboats and trains.

+Samsung Galaxy Good points but then we're forcing ourselves to be blissfully ignorant. No future or past, who knows, maybe it's a good thing.

Kalyan Arc without the industrial revolution the agricultural revolution wouldn’t progress as much and there would be much less food so there would still be a lot of starvation when disasters struck

Here's a link explaining it all: www.armenian-genocide.org/ottoman.html

Turks still don't recognize it to this day, so sad. Yes I believe the genocide inspired both Hitler and Stalin.

Death shall come in droves good idea! Ps. Love the username!

Everytime you said Armenian, I read American

exactly right, The Assyrians and Greeks heck even the Armenians never rebelled against the ottomans and were basically murdered for no reason other than being Christians, the fact that the turkish government today denies the existence of these genocides means these pieces of shit in power are no different than the ottomans

+Elvesflame I have! It was found in a ancient ship, wasn't it?

Steve Chadwarz Yup, at the bottom of the sea

we'd be more advanced now probably

+Hugh B.B I heard that the industrial revolution could have happened several centuries earlier in China. But one of the key elements was missing. There is no water in the chinese coal mines so, no need for a steam engine. If it did happen the worl woul be quite different.

As an avid communist myself, I wholeheartedly support this suggestion. The future of communism would be far different if Lenin's final wishes to put Trotsky in charge of the USSR were respected.

Actually, the 100 Years War was a draw, neither country won.

SomeRandomHetalian Oh yeah my mistake. I just thought France won because they took back France from England.

Okay okay sorry *Hands in air, backing away*

what if public education was outlawed by government (today) and all those who sought education had to pay businesses or craftsmen to teach them skills, much like guilds and apprenticeships during renaissance.

@James what the hell does that mean? France held the line the entire time in WW1. and then theres the french resistance.

It would probably just become wedded to the West and America after the Marshall plan rained money on it like in our time line with West Germany. The Soviet Union would have a wall on the border of Poland, not Germany.

@@wampower6848 there probably wouldn't have been a wall at all. There was no wall in East Germany, but East Berlin, which was far beyond the East German border. Berlin is on an island. So it's much easier to wall off than an extensive 290 mile border. That being said they actually got close. 2 walls both roughly 82 miles. Maybe they could have done it if enough Poles defected, but certainly not overnight.
