• Industrial Revolution began in 1750, leading to mass production of goods in factories, mass movements from towns and cities, establishing trade unions, and mass migration with rapid transport.
• Key innovations during the Industrial Revolution include the production of iron, coal, and wool, coal-powered steam engine, factory system, flying shuttle, spinning jenny, water frame, Crompton's mule, and internal combustion engine.
• Isms emerged during the 1650s, including capitalism, socialism, egalitarianism, nationalism, imperialism, Darwinism, and Chartism.
• The impact of the Industrial Revolution includes a dramatic increase in population, urban planning with fresh and free clean water, improvements in living standards, developments in agriculture, sports and mass entertainment, railways and transportation, mass-produced consumer goods, and the emergence of socialism and trade unions.
• The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 decreed any poor or homeless person requiring assistance from the state had to enter a government workhouse. The rise of Chartism and trade unions led to the Factory Acts supporting child labor laws and schooling.

• The departure of Gallipoli occurred in December 1915, with 8709 Australians dying and 1900 New Zealanders dying.
• Long-term impacts of the Industrial Revolution include a dramatic increase in the world's population and environmental impacts such as pollution and water quality. The impact of colonization on Indigenous populations includes changes to their culture and land ownership.
