How Has The World Changed From The 1750 To The 1900's

The world changed to a great extent during the period of time from the 1750’s to the 1900’s. These changes were due to the Scientific Revolution, Industrial Revolution and the movement of peoples. During this time frame changes occurred not only in the way people viewed the world but also how they travelled, their working and living conditions, it allowed them to make new discoveries and opened up many new doors.
