Your activity today goes along with this video,
so flip to that page.

Fill in the first box as we watch the movie

Try to find all of the reasons for the Industrial
Revolution
What was he saying in the video?

There are many
reasons why the
British industrialized
first…you saw all of
them in the video.

Here they are in slow
motion:
Thing #1 – Naval Power

By the
1700s,
the
British
Navy was
the
strongest
in the
world
Thing #2 - Colonies

At its height, ¼ of the world’s population was
under English control
Age of Imperialism

European wealth = power

Exploitation of Africa, Asia





Forced Africans to grow cash crops
Natural resources taken
Private armies ensured compliance
Home countries back up private armies with national
ones when necessary
What economic system was this part of?
European Imperialism
1700s-1800s

Other European
countries scramble to
set up colonies all over
world

France
Belgium
Germany
Denmark
Thing #3 – Slave Trade
Thing #3 – Drug Trade
Thing #4 – Raw Materials

Cheap fuel is
a good thing if
you are going
to outcompete
other
nations…and
England had
plenty at
home.
Thing #4 – Raw Materials

Where
else did
the
British
get their
wool?
Thing #5 – Technological Advances
Textiles were the first industry to be taken
out of the home and into the factories
James Hargreaves - Spinning jenny

The spinning jenny was a huge success
due to the fact that it could hold more than
one ball of yarn, therefore making more
clothing materials in a shorter amount of
time while reducing the overall cost.

The machine worked so well that other
weavers actually broke into his house and
torched his machines when they found out
what he was doing.
Thing # 5 – Technological Advances

How did the
steam engine
change human
lives?

Faster
transportation
and Powering
factories
Samuel Slater

Memorized the design
of textile machinery
and rebuilt a factory
system once he had
moved to Rhode Island
in 1789.
Thing #6 – Agriculture Revolution
Results of the Ag. Revolution

Nobles enclose their land

Peasants are no longer able to raise livestock…many move to
cities

More crops leads to better survival rates

More people leads to a greater mass of people looking for work

These are the people who would work in the factories
Shifting Gears
4 Inventors and their Inventions




James Hargreaves - Spinning jenny
James Watt—Steam engine
Eli Whitney—Cotton gin
Henry Bessemer— Bessemer Process
James Watt (1736 – 1819)
Eli Whitney—Cotton gin

Leads to an increase in
cotton production (good
to feed textile factories)

Also leads to an increase
in slavery…we’ll see how
tomorrow.

(Henry) Bessemer Process

Blew hot air through
molten iron, which
produced steel (lighter
and stronger than iron).

Produced steel quickly
and cheaply…made it
possible to make taller
buildings, and well,
stronger anything.
Advancements in science and
medicine

Edward Jenner—
Developed smallpox
vaccination

Saw that milkmaids that
had cowpox didn’t die from
it, or from smallpox…gave
cowpox to himself and
then others.
Louis Pasteur —Discovered bacteria


Pasteur discovers a
vaccine for rabies
Was one of the first
proponents of the “germ
theory”.

Heating foods and drinks
before you eat them will kill
off most of the bacteria that
could infect and kill you.
Shifting Gears again:
Results of all of everything we have
talked about today…
Impacts of the Industrial Revolution
on industrialized countries


Increased standards of living for many, though
not all
Growth of the middle class (businessmen)
Population increase
Improved transportation

Around 1900:



Utility of railroads is at its peak
Public transportation
Cars…
Urbanization
Fossil Fuels- Steam power helped
industries grow, but it was DIRTY
Long term effects:

As people moved into
the cities, public
schools emerged and
the masses were
educated.

Literacy Rates in 1900
