Document Summary
Major centers: germany and united states, who themselves were trying to catch up to british lead in industrialization. Germany and us wanted to imitate the successes england had seen with industrialization, and were willing to try out new approaches to industrial processes in order to do so. Contrast this with england, who by this time was firmly entrenched in first industrial age methods. For example, developments in steel-making which started in first industrial revolution, which benefited britains economy also start to help economies of countries like us and germany. Us steel output: 70,000 tons in 1870; 1. 25m in 1880, 10m by 1900, 26. 1m in 1910 (andrew. Carnegie is a good example of major us steel maker) ****2nd ir(second industrial revolution) is also characterized by new technologies (key tech) like the internal combustion engine which was developed as alternative to steam engine by 1880s.
