Presented by Andre M. Mahdi

With each iteration of new technology countries, nations, and even kingdoms rise and fall at the whim of the inventions and inventors. We are going to discuss the change of nations across the world as they experienced their own industrial revolution. Most people of think of the Americas and Europe as the heads of change. Let’s see what the rest of the world was up to. With a taste from the Pacific, Africa, South America, China, and Japan for good measure we will try and get a good view.
