I want to know the answer to the following question:
The discovery of the synthetic dye is claimed by some histories to have sparked what event?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Perkin's discovery was prompted by his work with von Hofmann on the substance aniline, derived from coal tar, and it was this breakthrough which sparked the synthetic dye industry, a boom which some historians have labelled the second chemical revolution.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
