This paper presents the historical facts, various inventions, consequences, flaws and virtues of the first, second, third and fourth industrial revolutions. The first title of this paper describes the period before the revolution, ie the pre-industrial revolution. It can be recognized as a period between the establishment of manufactories in medieval cities and the real industrialization of the late 18th century. In the second half of the 18th century, the social and economic relations we call the Industrial Revolution changed in England and throughout Europe. Then in the paper we can find something more about the first industrial revolution. What are its features, what invention marked the English Industrial Revolution, and then a little more about the steam engine and its impact on society and the economy. After that, we come to the second or technological industrial revolution. In this chapter we have presented various inventions in the production of iron and steel, in transport, in communication, in the electrical industry, and in the agricultural and food industries. After the second comes the third industrial revolution and a new title. That revolution is based on computerization and mostly the use of informatics. The most important inventions and changes of this industrial revolution are smart software, new materials, robots, 3D printers and much more that the Internet enables. During the third industrial revolution in Japan, the Just in time system was developed, so the paper shows how to achieve a rapid flow of products through the supply chain. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the latest industrial revolution. This period is also called the post-industrial period. The fourth industrial revolution is based on the development of high-tech software and robotization, ie the digitalization of entire production. The difference between the third and fourth industrial revolutions are artificial intelligence and data significance. Production processes in the fourth industrial revolution are still being upgraded, there are existing indications for the fifth industrial revolution. In the industrial revolutions in Europe, GDP per capita was shown through six countries before the nineteenth century in four major episodes of growth in certain economies. A graph with regard to today is also shown, a graph showing how many, according to DESI, twenty-nine countries use the Internet, ie the index of the digital 38 economy of society. According to this index, the Republic of Croatia ranks fourteenth. In first place is Finland with an index of 11.5, which means that people in Finland use the most internet compared to the twenty-eight other countries observed. At the end of this final work is the industrial revolution in Croatia. The characteristics of the Croatian Industrial Revolution were observed through two phases. In the first phase, the goal was to develop labor-intensive activities in the field of consumer goods production in order to employ labor, and the goal was to develop the production of capital goods. In the second phase, industrial growth and development are significantly used.
