however, by the end of the 19th century, economic differences gradually began to even out as economic growth in the eastern parts of the empire consistently surpassed that in the western. the empire built up the fourth-largest machine building industry of the world, after the united states, germany, and the united kingdom of great britain and ireland. austria-hungary was also the world's third largest manufacturer and exporter of electric home appliances, electric industrial appliances and facilities for power plants, after the united states and the german empire. the strong agriculture and food industry of the kingdom of hungary with the center of budapest became predominant within the empire and made up a large proportion of the export to the rest of europe. meanwhile, western areas, concentrated mainly around prague and vienna, excelled in various manufacturing industries. however, since the turn of the twentieth century, the austrian half of the empire could preserve its dominance within the empire in the sectors of the first industrial revolution, but hungary had a better position in the industries of the second industrial revolution, in these modern sectors of the second industrial revolution the austrian competition could not become dominant. this division of labour between the east and west, besides the existing economic and monetary union, led to an even more rapid economic growth throughout austria-hungary by the early 20th century. the most important trading partner was germany (1910: 48% of all exports, 39% of all imports), followed by great britain (1910: almost 10% of all exports, 8% of all imports). trade with the geographically neighboring russia, however, had a relatively low weight (1910: 3% of all exports /mainly machinery for russia, 7% of all imports /mainly raw materials from russia). in the galician north, the kingdom of galicia and lodomeria, an ethnic pole-administered autonomous unit under the austrian crown, became the major oil-producing region of europe.

the second industrial revolution, also known as the technological revolution, was a phase of rapid industrialization from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. the first industrial revolution, which ended in the middle of 19th century, was punctuated by a slowdown in important inventions before the second industrial revolution in 1870. though a number of its characteristic events can be traced to earlier innovations in manufacturing, such as the establishment of a machine tool industry, the development of methods for manufacturing interchangeable parts and the invention of the bessemer process to produce steel, the second industrial revolution is generally dated between 1870 and 1914 (the beginning of world war i).
