This booklet describes the First Industrial Revolution and its different aspects, impacts, consequences, different explosion, also about historical significance.
1.
2. Prelude: The Population Explosion ○ Famine ○ War ○ Disease ○ Stricter quarantine measures ○ The elimination of the black rat
3. Historical Significance of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution changed human life drastically More was created in the last 250+ years than in the previous 2500+ years of known human history
4. What was the Industrial The Industrial Revolution refers to the greatly increased output of machine made goods that began in England in the 1700s
5. The Industrial Revolution Machines were invented which replaced human labor New energy sources were developed to power the new machinery – water, steam, electricity, oil (gas, kerosene) Increased use of metals and minerals Aluminum, coal, copper, iron, etc.
6. Britain Takes the Lead Great Britain’s advantages: Plentiful iron and coal A navigable river system Colonies that supplied raw materials and bought finished goods A government that encouraged improvements in transportation and used its navy to protect British trade
7. Development of the Domestic System of Production Domestic system developed in England Late 1600s-late 1800s Domestic system could not keep up with demand
9. Background of the Industrial Revolution Scientific Revolution Intellectual Revolution Encouraged learning and the search for better and newer ways of doing things Agricultural Revolution Landowners experimented in their enclosures Seed drill Crop rotation Livestock breeding
10. The Seed Drill
11. The Threshing Machine
12. Four-Field System crop rotation example Charles “Turnip” Townshend
13. Factory System Developed to replace the domestic system of production Faster method of production Workers concentrated in a set location Production anticipated demand For example: Under the domestic system, a woman might select fabric and have a businessperson give it to a home-based worker to make into a dress. Under the factory system, the factory owner bought large lots of popular fabrics and had workers create multiple dresses in common sizes, anticipating that women would buy them.

15. Why the Industrial Revolution Started in England
16. England’s Resources: Capital merchants had the capital to invest in the factory system – money to buy buildings, machinery, and raw materials Its colonies gave England access to enormous markets and vast amounts of raw materials possessed the necessary raw materials to create the means of production (coal, iron) English people could freely travel from the countryside to the cities World’s largest merchant fleet
17. England’s Resources: England is the political center of Great Britain, an island Great Britain did not suffer fighting on its land during the wars of the 18th century Island has excellent harbors and ports Damp climate benefited the textile industry (thread did not dry out) Government stable No internal trade barriers
18. Inventions Spur Weavers work faster-flying shuttles/ spinning jennies Water frame uses H2O to drive spinning wheels Power loom- spinning mules speed up production Move machinery to factories

22. “Necessity Is the Mother of •The process of inventing never ends •One invention inevitably leads to improvements upon it and to more inventions
23. Bell Work January 13, 2014 Turn your project into the stack at the front Also, turn your current event into your box How was your second drawing of the urban village different than your first? Were you surprised at how fast these towns grew in just 100 years? What factors did you think about when laying out your town?
24. The Birth and Growth of the Textile Industry
25. These machines were so large. They were placed in large buildings called factories
26.
27. Development of Steam Engines Early water power involved mills built over fast-moving streams and rivers Problems-rivers far removed, not enough power, prone to drying James Watt, Scotland (1769) Improved Newcomen’s steam engine to power machinery
28. Steam Engines By 1800, steam engines were replacing water wheels as sources of power for factories Factories relocated near raw materials, workers, and ports Cities grew around the factories built near central England’s coal and iron mines Manchester, Liverpool
29. Before the Industrial Revolution •Canal barges pulled by mules •Ships powered by sails •Horse-drawn wagons, carts, and carriages After the Industrial Revolution •Trains •Steamships •Trolleys •Automobiles
30. Transportation Revolution
31. Robert Fulton invented the steamboat in 1807 The Clermont operated the first regular steamboat route, running between Albany and New York City 1819 – the Savannah used a steam engine as auxiliary power for the first time when it sailed across the Atlantic Ocean 1836 – John Ericsson invented a screw propeller to replace paddle wheels 1838 – the Great Western first ship to sail across the Atlantic on steam power alone, completing the trip in 15 days
32.
33. Macadamized Roads Strong, hard roads invented by Thomas Telford and John McAdam Improvement over dirt and gravel roads Macadamized roads have a smooth, hard surface that supports heavy loads without requiring a thick roadbed Modern roads are macadamized roads, with tar added to limit the creation of dust
34.
35. 1830 – Stephenson’s “Rocket” train traveled the 40 miles between Liverpool and Manchester in 1 ½ hours 1830-1870 – railroad tracks went from 49 miles to over 15,000 miles Steel rails replaced iron rails 1869 – Westinghouse’s air brake made train travel safer Greater train traveling comfort – heavier train cars, improved road beds, and sleeping cars

37. Communications Revolution
38. Bell Work January 14 Review Questions Pick two to answer thoroughly 1. What was the Industrial Revolution? 2. Describe at least three developments of the Industrial Revolution. 3. Compare and contrast the domestic and factory methods of production. 4. Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in England? 5. Explain why one invention or development leads to another.
39. Review Questions 6. Explain how developments in the textile industry sparked the Industrial Revolution. 7. Describe at least three developments in the area of transportation. 8. Describe at least three developments in the field of communications. 9. Considering the conditions necessary for industrialization to occur, how well equipped is the undeveloped world for becoming industrialized? Are modern undeveloped nations in a better or worse position than 18th- and 19th-century England?
40. Industrialization: Section 2 European cities go through a period of urbanization because of the factory system This caused living conditions to be terrible Sickness was widespread (cholera) Average worker spent 14hours, 6days Dangerous industry-coal mines
41.
42. Class Tension New money-factory owners, shippers, and merchants became middle class Upper-doctors, lawyers Lower-factory overseers Working class-machines replaced them Luddites-destroyed machines in factories and rioted
43. Hey, some good things Created jobs Money! Increased production of goods Hope of improvement Expanded educational opportunities Took a while for everybody but eventually conditions improved in the work place
44. Bell Work January 15, 2014 What early industries mechanized in the United States? Why did Belgium lead Europe in adopting industrialization? How did the Industrial Revolution shift the world balance of power?
45. Industrialization Spreads Section: 3 Samuel Slater- built a spinning machine from memory in U.S. Francis Lowell-mechanized every stage of manufactured cloth in U.S. Women flocked to mill jobs U.S. went through Industrialization in late 1800s Resources, inventions, swelling population were contributors Railroads played a major role
46. Entrepreneurs sold shares of stock or rights of ownership These businesses became corporations Gives the ability to raise large amounts of capital Standard Oil Carnegie Steel
47. Europe Industrializes William Cockerill made his way to Belgium, his son built large industry there Germany had pockets of industry Imported British engineers and build railways Regions in Europe began to Industrialize (ex. Northern Italy-textile) Social structure and geography halted it elsewhere
