LG6: INDUSTRIALIZATION-NEW TECHNOLOGIESANALYZE HOW THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES INCREASED THE DIFFUSION OF PRODUCTS/IDEAS & FACILITATED INCREASING POLITICAL POWER FOR SOME REGIONS.Criteria for Success: -Understanding of new technologies that impacted human spatial diffusion-The changing of ideas and products from before the Industrial Revolution to after-The distribution of power globally during and after the Industrial Revolution

CAUSES OF INDUSTRIALIZATION The Age of Exploration

Raw materials from the Americas & Africa provided resources to produce goods in Europe (Resources)

Increased food & diversity of food from the Americas increased Europe’s population (Labor)

Agricultural Revolution in Europe increased population, while new farm inventions made agricultural workers unnecessary (Need jobs)

WORKERS Migrating from rural communities Displaced by the new farm technologies Moving to cities (urbanization)

See teacher notes for working conditions before Industrial Rev and after.

INDUSTRIALIZATION CONT… Introduction of New Technologies which had

the most effect on the progress of the Industrial Revolution: Factories Canals/Railroads-transportation of bulk goods Steam Engine-extraction of coal, then powers

machines, trains boats, etc.

Due to the increase in products made in factories (not Cottage industries-made at home) and a more productive way to get goods to market- there is an INCREASED diffusion of products /expansion of markets

INCREASING POLITICAL POWER FOR SOME??

Regions/Countries where the Industrial Revolution took place gained much political power compared to regions/countries/continents that did not experience the IR!

Western Powers gained political power Tools of Control:

Mass production of guns Methods of transportation Control of territory

HUMAN-SPATIAL INTERACTION Before the IR:

fewer people lived in areas More people lived in rural communities than

urban areas After the IR:

More people in a smaller area (very crowded) Dirtier, polluted, lower wages for factory

workers-but-more jobs Wealth gap-but-emergence of a middle class Urbanization (more people living in cities) Globalization (resources procured from many

countries, products being sold in many countries)
