Industrial

Revolution
1700-1900
Chapters 21 and 22

Changing how people think and

work

Scientific Revolution (1500s and 1600s)Transformation in European thought that called for scientific
observation, experimentation, and questioning traditional
opinions

Enlightenment (1600s)-An intellectual movement

that advocated using reason to solve problems

***Both led to new ways of thinking, working,

solving problems***

Industrial Revolution: Era when the use

of power-driven machinery was developed
How would using powerdriven machinery affect
peoples work and production
of goods?

The Beginnings

Why it began in Great Britain

Exploration and colonialism

Seapower
Political Stability
Government support
Growth of private investment
Agricultural factors

Cotton
Millionair
e Game

Enclosure movement= Increased food production,

workers move to cities

Factors of Production (land, labor, capital)

The beginnings

Cottage industry- craft occupation performed

at home.
Industrialization began in the textile, or clothmaking, industry
Power of Steam
First used in textile factories
Steam powered trains and ships
Needed coal to heat water= boom in coal industry

The Beginnings

Spread of Industrialization
Stayed mainly in Great Britain from 1760-1830
Americas early industrialization began in the late
1700s and it spread to Europe- 1807 (Belgium)
Western countries industrialized first
Japan-1868; China, India, Russia- 1900s
In what ways do industrialized
countries have an advantage over
countries that are not
industrialized?

Effects of Industrialization on
Working Conditions

Changed towns, families, nature

of labor
Three levels of workers

Wealthy invested in factories

Middle-level ran the factories
Low-level to run machines

Luddite movement 1811-1812

Labor unions- early 1800s
Sadler Report
Government regulate work hours,
child labor (9 years old)
1871 Parliament legalized unions

Effects of Industrialization on
Working Conditions

Middle Class developed

Accountants, factory managers, engineers,

mechanics

Mass production, interchangeable parts,

assembly line
Increase in production, lower prices
Repetitious jobs

Effects of Industrialization
on Economics

Mercantile system (countrys power is

directly related to wealth and the rulers held
most wealth/power) gave way to CAPITALISM
where business is privately owned
Laissez-faire and Adam Smith
Thomas Malthus
Population would grow faster than food supply

Business leaders gained wealth, political

power
Not everyone agreed with capitalism
Competition with laissez-faire
Robert Owen and socialism
Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and communism

Effects of
Industrialization on
Society
World of work and home separatedseparate spheres

No real change in status for working class

women who worked in factories, other working
women (cooks, child-care, maids) lives improved
Middle Class women hired help and were freed
from chores, went to college, jobs as teachers and
nurses

Effects of
Industrialization on
Society
Brought wealth and power to countries
Great Britain, France, Germany
Increased ability to make weapons, ships
Control economies of other countries

Standard of living rose

Leisure time increased

What new ideas of the Industrial Age do you think

had the greatest POSITIVE effect on the world?
Choose three and explain your answers.

MAIN IDEAS

In the 1700s, conditions in Great Britain led to the rapid

growth of the textile industry, which in turn led to huge
changes in many other industries. What factors allowed
Great Britain to industrialize first?
The transition from cottage industries changed how
people worked in factories, what life was like in factory
towns, labor conditions, and the processes within the
factory. How did industrialization affect workers?
The Industrial Revolution inspired new ideas about
economics and society and affected society in many
ways. How did the Industrial Revolution affect society?
The technological breakthroughs of the Industrial Age
included advances in electric power, transportation,
and communication. Why were these breakthroughs
important?

2) Swan, Edison and the light bulb
3) Bessemer Process
4) Expansion of railroads
5) Steamships
6) Benz, Daimler, Ford, and cars
7) Wright Brothers and the airplane
8) Bell and the telephone
9) Marconi and the radio
10) Edison and the phonograph

Science and Medicine

1) Darwin and evolution

2) Dalton and atomic theory
3) Mendeleyev and periodic table
4) Curies and radioactivity
5) Einsteins theories
6) Pasteurs fight against disease
7) Anesthetics and antiseptics
8) Pavlov, Freud, and the mind
9) Advances in archeology
10) Anthropology and sociology

Daily Life
1) Growth of industrial cities
2) Migration to cities
3) Improvement in utilities
4) Skyscrapers, subways, parks
5) Growth of suburbs
6) More education
7) Newspapers
8) Sports and other uses of leisure time
9) Public museums and libraries
10) Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism

Impact of New Technology

You will be divided into three groups

Technology
Science and Medicine
Daily Life

In your large group you will create a two-column chart showing how
each invention, item, new idea, etc. effected society and peoples lives
Work together, everyone needs to have a copy of the chart so do not let
anyone fall behind

Once you are done, your group will break-up and you will join a new
group with one person from Technology, one from Science and Medicine,
and one from Daily Life
In this group, you will share what you have learned and write down what the
other two members of your group learned.
NO TRADING PAPERS AND JUST COPYING, I want to hear discussion!
Any group that is not discussing will break up and have to do the other 20 items as
homework

At the end of the activity, you should have thirty items and their effects on
society.

What you will do with your

first group.
