The Industrial revolution had a massive impact upon all the classes in Britain and in turn affected the growth of association football. One factor was that there was now more time for sport to be performed/watched, this came because both Saturday and Wednesday were designated as half days, and this increase in free time allowed games such as football to be played more often and by a larger group of people. This boom in big industry meant an increase in the wages of the working class, this in turn meant that they could afford to pay for transport to games as well as the entrance fee to the ground. The industrial revolution also brought with it a vast increase in the british transportation system, most namely the rail network, this allowed teams to travel around the country and play against many different teams, this also led to an increase in the frequency of matches as because of this transport system leagues were able to be set up. Public schools also had a significant, arguably the most significant, influence on the development of association football.
Mining was an important factor in the development of the West during the 1800s. When people got wind of a discovery of gold or silver, they would flock to the area with hopes of striking it rich due to the high value of these minerals. These prospectors would use pan and placer mining to sift the minerals out from streams or the shallow surface of the land. After these shallow resources of the minerals were depleted, commercial mining outfits would come in and extract the gold and silver from deep underground. “The thousands of people who flocked to the mining towns in search of quick wealth and who failed to find it often remained as wage laborers in corporate mines after the boom period” (Brinkley, 2007).
Many aspects of the African and American economies remained unchanged by maintaining an agrarian based economy. As trade began to increase between Europe, the Americas, and Africa, many social transformations began to take place.

This rise in trading led to the growth of the middle class in Western Europe. The middle class developed because the increase of trading opened up room for specialized workers Along with the growth of the middle class bankers, capitalists, and other occupations also began to develop.
Pebble Mine The Pebble deposit is a massive deposit of gold, copper and molybdenum, located in the headwaters of the Kvichak and Nushagak Rivers. The Pebble Mine is an idea to set up a mine at those sites and take those resources out of the ground. If built, it would be one of the largest mines ever, measuring 2 miles wide and up to 2,000 feet deep. Like all other projects like this, the Pebble Mine has many pros as well as cons. One pro of this idea is that they construction of this mine and the mine itself will create thousands of new jobs.

Two very significant geographic factors that contributed to the development or expansion of the United States include the Gold rush of 1849 and the Great land rush of Oklahoma of 1889. Both of these event drastically changed the landscape of America towards the end of the 19th century. Another factor that changed the world as we knew it was the environment of the indus valley; the indus river played a major role in developing one of our greatest ancient civilizations, the indus river people. Furthermore, the indus river people shared their stuff and trade things and city building ideas with the rest of the world, but most importantly with country X. Country X would have remained without trade things and cities if it was not for the indus river people.

The cheap fuel they found helped to revolutionize American transportation and industry.
