The Industrial Revolution
Industrial Revolution
The great increase of production that began in England during the 18th century
Steps To Industrialization
Agricultural Revolution of the 1700s1) Enclosure Movement
Wealthy landowners bought small farms and then enclosed it with hedges or fences
Experimented with seeding and harvesting methods
2) New farming methodsSeed drill Allowed farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows at specific depths
Crop rotation Best development Instead of leaving a field lying fallow, farmers rotated their crops
Which Leads TO……..
More food production
More healthy people
Population growth
Need for more goods
Need for factories to make these goods
Need for people to move to cities to work the jobs.
“Enclosed” Lands Today
Quick Recap
How did an agricultural revolution lead to industrialization?
Why Was Britain The First To Industrialize?
Political stability No wars on their turf Military success = positive outlook Laws to encourage business ventures
Factors of Production Resources needed to produce goods and services:
Land Labor (workers) Capital (wealth)
Why was Britain The First To Industrialize?
Resources An expanding economy with a highly developed
banking system (loans) Natural resources:
Harbors (for merchant ships) Water power Rivers for inland transportation Iron ore for machines, tools, and buildings Coal to fuel new machines
Quick Recap
Why was Britain the first country to industrialize?
Industrial Revolution Inventions
First, The Textile Industry Flying shuttle—doubled work of a weaver Spinning jenny—spinning wheel that could work
eight threads at a time Power loom—sped up weaving
Bulky/heavy machines led to the need for factories (people used work at home weaving) Factories housed the machines Factories were built near rivers for water power
John Kay’s “Flying Shuttle”
The Power Loom
Industrial Revolution Inventions
Second, The Transportation IndustrySteam engine
Factories Steam Ships
The Engine
Transportation Industry BOOMS!
Transportation Industry Created from Steam Engine Effects of railroads:
Cheap transportation of goods (boosted fishing and agriculture industries)
New jobs for railroad workers and miners Encouraged leisure travel and city jobs
Quick RecapHow did the textile and transportation
industries revolutionize Great Britain?
