Machines | Military Technologies of the Second Industrial Revolution (Civil War and WWI Compared)
videos | at work | information | view | construction
http://www.tomrichey.net This is the second part of my lecture on the Second Industrial Revolution (1850-1914), focusing on military technologies that were developed during this time. To explain the technological achievements of the Second Industrial Revolution, I compare armaments used during the American Civil War and World War I. While the Civil War employed technologies that were an improvement over pre-industrial wars (e.g., repeating rifles), these technologies were child's play compared to technologies that existed 50 years later (e.g., machine guns, poison gas, airplanes).

Good overview. And there was still some notion of military pride reflected in their uniform. for example, the buttons on the uniform were not practical at all but still looked formal.

Your could have mentioned barbed wire and compare hot air balloons to the airplanes.

Hey Tom, love your videos. As a college Western Civ student, they have been an invaluable resource. As a fellow metal fan, what music do you use in your videos? Thanks for the great lectures!
