Before the Industrial Revolution, children were often forced to work in coal mines because of their small size. What was the situation in Georgia? From the toasts of the homeland and essays on popular history, one gets the impression that our ancestors, in the pauses between battles with Shah-Aba and other heroic deeds, either quoted the Tiger Skin Man by heart, or even hunted pheasants in the Mtkvari Valley.
In reality, unfortunately, they, like 80% of the rest nepal phone data of the world's population, spent their existence in extreme poverty, struggling with nature to obtain the minimum harvest necessary for food. Countless human lives were sacrificed not to fight the invaders, but to banal hunger and diseases caused by the most difficult living conditions. Luka Razikashvili supported his family by farming and spent his years in poverty. And even for those of you who, like me, quickly forgot about Ignat Ninoshvili's stories, having perceived them superficially as children, you can reread them and be shocked anew by the lives of ordinary people at that time.
The First Industrial Revolution was the discovery of the steam engine. The steam engine made previously unseen power available to man. It became possible to pump out swamps and easily extract peat and coal, and transport ore by freight train. This made large-scale metallurgy possible. Metallurgy, in turn, created much more efficient agricultural tools. Successful peasants who acquired these tools became rich thanks to their enormous competitive advantage.
