Abstract

This research paper is aiming to discover the relationship between the Enlightenment in France and the First Industrial Revolution in Britain. This is claimed in this paper that due to the time period of these two events, the Enlightenment idea first impacted and somehow incurred the First Industrial Revolution. After the Revolution was on track, it reversed to influence the late Enlightenment. Moreover, it became clearer that these two events not only affect each other, but also brought worldwide evolution phase by phase.
