Industrial Revolution (Espa)

The Industrial Revolution marks a dynamic period in Espan history similar to the Industrial Revolution on earth. Starting in western Sona at the beginning of the 20th century CC, it swept across the civilized world and by the 21th century major changes in Krenn society had occurred.
The period is commonly marked as the transition from the Espan Middle Ages to the start of the Espan Modern Ages.
==Industrialization==
The roots of the industrial revolution on Espa can be attributed to the refinement of fossil power in late 19th century Brezia, with the invention of the Steam Engine in 1937 CC. Brezia was soon able to increase production speeds, and rely on severely less labour to produce products, a progress that would spread like a virus across Sona.
Many countries in the west would also dramatically industrialize, most of them now in secure control of a vast colonial empire to pour resources from, Brezia by 1900 CC spawned an empire over 15 million kilometers, rivaled by Calomir at 13 million. With this amount of resources technology skyrocketed.
===Technology===
One of the most prominent changes was the adoption of mechanical flight, in the form of airships. Based on hot air balloons invented by the scientist Mazou 3 centuries earlier, replacing the Vliviak. These airships started to really take off during the 1940's Usually ran by the invention of the Steam Engine in 1937 CC.
The Steam Engine in particular revolutionized the Krenn, Steam engines replaced sails for ships, and steam locomotives began operating on new railways.
====Airships====
Airships were invented as early as the 16th century CC, however had needed a long time to develop into a practical means of transportation on Espa, their speeds were never that great until they figured out electrolysis in 1921 CC, they could now mass produce Hydrogen to fuel the ships and their carrying capacities went up dramatically and they could now carry several kilotons of mass. Speeding up to 200 km/h. By 1940 40% of overseas transport would be by airship instead of over sea.
