Industrialization in the US

Paper Summary:

The paper relates that the evolution of the United States could not have been possible without the process of industrialization. The paper explains how industrialization represented the driving force for the immigration, transportation and urbanization processes, which all contributed to the emergence of the United States as one of the most important actors of the end of the 19th century.

From the Paper:

"The process to modernize the American states after the end of the Civil War was one of the most complex events that shape the way in which the history of the United States would evolve in the 20th century. There were several aspects of the history of the States that determined changes influenced by consequences of these events. In this sense, the processes of industrialization, immigration, transportation, and urbanization were essential for the evolution of the US in the period since 1860 to 1920 when the US became indeed an important power in the world."
