• Causes of Industrial Revolution
• Increase in the food supply
– This was due mainly to the Agricultural Revolution,
where new inventions and better livestock breeding
methods led to more food being produced with less
amounts of labor
– Poor farmers now moved to the cities looking for
jobs
• Population grew and created a large workforce
• Had a ready supply of money (capital) to invest in
industrial machines and factories
– Capital = money available for investment
– Entrepreneur = a person interested in finding new
business opportunities and new ways of making
profits
• Lots of natural resources: coal, iron ore
• Factors of production
– Capital, Entrepreneur, Land, Labor
• Britain and continental Europe
• Great Britain was politically stable
• Large supply of materials and markets from
colonies
– Huge empire and the largest and most
powerful navy in the world
– By 1800 Britain produced 80% of Europe’s
coal
• First to be industrialized in continental Europe
was Belgium
– Belgium was followed later by France and
Germany
– Their gov’ts were active in encouraging the
development of industrialization
Changes in Textile Production
• Textile = cloth-making, mostly from wool or cotton
• Two-step process
– Spinners made cotton thread from raw cotton
– Weavers wove the thread into cloth on looms
• Cottage Industry
– Prior to the Industrial Revolution, work such as
textile production was done by individuals in their
rural homes
– Merchants would drop off the raw materials and
then come back later for the finished product
• Series of Technological Advances
– “flying shuttle” was invented by John Kay, and
made weaving faster, doubled the speed at which a
weaver could do his job
– Spinning jenny created by James Hargreaves which
produced thread faster
– These new machines were becoming too big to be
put into a cottage and Richard Arkwright built the
first factory with 200 workers to house his water
frame
• More efficient to bring workers to the new
machines and have them work in factories near
rivers
Coal and Iron Industries
• The success of the steam engine increased the
need for coal and led to an expansion in coal
production
– Steam engines required immense amounts of fuel
to heat water
– New processes using coal led to the iron industry
• Henry Cort developed a process called puddling –
coal used to burn away impurities in crude iron
– High quality iron used to build new machines and
transportation
– Britain produced more iron than the rest of the
world combined
• Finally James Watt improved the steam engine,
which used steam to drive machinery
– Coal was used to heat water to produce steam
– Factories no longer had to be located near water
• Many factories were now built in cities and near
roads and ports
– Other uses for the steam engine
• Robert Fulton developed the steamship
• Steam engines also used to power locomotives
• Imported more and more raw cotton and cotton cloth
became Britain’s most valuable product
Railroads
• Important to the success of the Industrial Revolution
– More efficient means of transporting goods and
resources
– Faster shipment of goods
– Less expensive transportation led to lower-priced
goods
– Entrepreneurs could reinvest profits into new
equipment – ongoing economic growth
• Created new jobs – both on the trains themselves,
building the railroads, and rest stops
• Communications over wire
• Cook invented a five needle telegraph in
England
• In the US Morse invents a dash and dot system
of communication
Samuel Morse
• born in Charlestown, Mass. on 27th April
1791
• graduated from Yale in 1810 and he lived
in England from 1811 to 1815,
• once a portrait painter, turned to inventing
to make his fortune.
Samuel Morse
• Morse developed 'lightning wires' and
'Morse code,' an electronic alphabet that
could carry messages.
• A line was constructed between Baltimore
and Washington and the first message,
sent on May 24,1844, was 'What hath God
wrought!'
Working in Factories
• The factory created a new labor system
– Factory owners wanted to use their new
machines constantly
• Workers forced to work in shifts
– Had to create a system of work discipline
• Factory work was divided into several separate parts
and each worker was assigned one task that was
easy to learn
– Even children could easily learn it
• Factory work was dangerous
– No safety protection from the massive machines,
no worker’s compensation
Pg. 642
• Long work hours – from 12 to 16 hours a day, six
days a week, only lunch break (no other breaks)
• Bad conditions, no minimum wage, no job security,
noisy, and poor sanitation
– If you don’t like it, there are many people who will
take your place since they need the money
• Whole towns grew up around the factories
– Families lived in shoddy, crowded buildings with
cramped quarters
– Some neighborhoods in Manchester had only two
toilets for every 250 people
Factory Towns
– Lots of pollution – soot filled the air from burning
coal, the smoke also contained other poisonous
chemicals
• Destroyed lungs and nature
• Factory towns were highly unsanitary, disease
spread rapidly, and many died
– Six out of every ten children died before the age
of 5
Social Impact
• Growth of cities
– People moved from farms to cities for jobs
– Pitiful living conditions – cholera, tuberculosis
• Two new social classes – growth of the middle class
– Industrial middle class = people who own the
factories
– Industrial working class = people who work in the
factories
• Most of the workers were women and children
– They were cheaper to pay then men
– Factory work seen as “women’s work”
Pg. 644
• Rural Environment
• Demand for coal and iron rose as the demand
for wood decreased
• Transportation linked cities together (bringing
nationalism ideas to prominence)
• Roads, canals, and railroads linked isolated
parts of the countries
• Laissez Faire and Its
Critics
• Adam Smith stated
that government
should not interfere
with businesses
• Jeremy Bentham
stated the state
should manage the
economy and address
social issues
Adam Smith
• Positivism and Utopian socialists
• Positivism—argued that scientific method could
solve social and well as technical problems
• Utopian socialists like Fourier and Robert Owen
• Socialists, such as Robert Owen, believed that
for the good of all, society or the gov’t should
own property and control industry
– Socialists believed in the equality of all people
and wanted to get rid of economic
cooperation
– Owen built a mill complex in New Lanark,
Scotland, where he clothed and fed his
workers and they enjoyed good working
conditions along with free education for their
children
– Another socialist was Karl Marx, who viewed
Owen as a “utopian” socialist
• Karl Marx and Communism
– Communism = a system of social organization in
which all property is held in common
• Hated capitalism and against private property
– Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848
• He believed that all of world history was a
“history of class struggles”
• The bourgeoisie (middle class) owned all the
means of production and oppressed the
proletariat (working class)
–The bourgeoisie were getting richer and the
proletariat poorer
• Marx believed that the proletariat would rise up
and overthrow the bourgeoisie in a violent
revolution
• This would lead ultimately to a classless
society in which gov’t would no longer be
needed and capitalism would collapse
• Weavers and other cottage industry workers were
being put out of work thanks to the new machines
– In the early 1800s, groups began to break into
factories to destroy the machines
– They blamed the machines for their problems
• They burned factories and smashed machines,
but overall they were not successful
• Labor Unions
– People formed unions to try to gain better working
conditions, less hours, and higher pay
• Labor union = organizations representing
workers’ interests
– Unions were illegal at first, but eventually gained
acceptance – Britain was the first to recognize
unions
– Unions won the right to strike in the 1870s
• A strike is where members of a union refuse to
work in order to pressure an employer into
meeting their demands
– Unions will make considerable progress in making
the living and working conditions better
• In 1832 the British Parliament produced the Sadler
Report
– It described the abuses in factories and coal
mines
• Parliament also passed laws that limited work hours
for adults and children
– Factory Act of 1833 – children had to be older
than nine to be able to work in factories
• Effect on China
• Military changes allowed Britain to defeat China quickly and
easily
• China was concerned with internal agriculture to sustain which
kept them from Industrialization
• Effects on Egypt
• Muhammad Ali industrialized based on wheat and cotton and
tariffs on imports
• Britain upset about Egypt success and forced to remove
tariffs—Egypt could not compete with cheap British goods
• Effects on India
• British textiles were cheap and drove Indian workers out of
work
• India became exporter of British goods
• British did not allow India to complete Westernization—Why?
