Abstract
Since the quickening of the Industrial Revolution in United Kingdom in 1850 there is no doubt that europe sustained important cultural changes. The aura of this revolution crossed the Channel and pervaded in europe but only went in western countries ready to change, France the first, then Germany, Italy, Spain, northern countries and until Austria. In addition, the impact of this industrial revolution was more limited beyond these countries, Poland, Russia and other countries of eastern europe were tardier in the evolution of their industry despite some exceptions. There is no denying that this revolution thus permitted a boom of new systems of management, Taylorism and Fordism for example and many others.
Moreover, the culture of each country of europe has changed during the first quarter of the 20th Century according to the evolution of mentalities and parameters linked to the impact of the revolution. Totally new thoughts and personalities brought out and mainly in western europe but until western europe too (delimited from Hungary to the present Russia). Religion, Art, Politics, Industry, Science were involved.
This revolution was an entire upset which in some way separated europe between a productive one in the west and another latecomer one in the east. It thus appeared from this period some fundamental differences in terms of culture, on the one hand a more liberal culture and on the other hand a more sovietized culture, due to the hegemony of Russia on its satellite states. In a second time, the first and second world wars spawned eastern and western military blocks which deg gaps between cultures, mind and management systems because of the influence of different political systems, leaders, ideologies.
