Explanation:

The Second Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid industrial development, mainly in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States, but also in France, the Low Countries, Italy and Japan. It spread throughout Western Europe and later North America after the first industrial revolution that began in Britain in the late 18th century. The first revolution was marked by the introduction of interchangeable parts and mass production, and it was characterized by a water-driven (especially in the United States), second railroad, large-scale but iron and steel structure. Widespread use of machinery in production and construction, excessive use of steam power, widespread use of telegraph, use of petroleum and introduction of electrification. This is the period when modern organizational techniques were used to manage large scale businesses in large areas.
