Merthyr Tydfil - Influence and growth of iron industry.

The Dowlais Ironworks was founded by what would become the Dowlais Iron Company in 1759, making it the fir ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Industrial Revolution Clearance and Enlightenment After 1745, British authorities acted to suppress the clan loyalties in the Highlands. The wearing of tartan and the playing of bagpipes were both forbidden for a time. The warrior culture of the Highlands was re-diverted as Highlanders were recruited as soldiers to serve in the wider British Empire. Clan Chiefs were encouraged to consider themselves as owners of the land in their control, in the English manner - it was previously considered common to the clan.
As these new landowners converted land to more profitable sheep pasture, m ...

Economy of Norway - Pre-industrial revolution.
Prior to the industrial revolution, Norway's economy was largely based on agriculture and fishing. Norwegians typically lived under conditions of considerable scarcity, though famine was rare.

| | | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Reform In 1792, Manchester was still governed by a court leet on the medieval model but its first step towards democracy was taken by the establishment of a modern police force under the Manchester and Salford Police Act.
The end of the eighteenth century saw the first serious recession in the textile trade following its dramatic growth. There were food riots in 1797 and soup kitchens were established in 1799.

As of today, three major shipyards remain on the ...
