by Emily Palmer

SETTING
17001850

KARL MARX
HE WROTE THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO WITH FRIEDRICH ENGELS. MARX THOUGHT THAT THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM IN PLACE AT THE TIME WOULD RUIN ITSELF BECAUSE ALL OF THE FACTORIES WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF WORKERS. HE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN COMMUNISM .

JOHN KAY
HE WAS THE INITIATOR FOR ALL OF THE INVENTIONS MADE AFTER HIM TO DO WITH TEXTILE WORK. ALTHOUGH THE

FLYING SHUTTLE WASNT THE BEST

INVENTION, IT STARTED TO STIR UP PEOPLES IMAGINATION FOR MORE EFFICIENT MACHINES.

JAMES WATT

GEORGE STEPHENSON

SAMUEL SLATER
HE CAME OVER FROM BRITAIN TO AMERICA TO START UP SOME BUSINESS WITH FACTORIES. SLATER WAS ORIGINALLY A FACTORY WORKER WHO STOLE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE SPINNING MACHINE .

ENGLAND

SCOTLAND

GERMANY

PROBLEM
MORE PEOPLE
THOMAS MALTHUS THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE LIVING, AND THAT EVENTUALLY, PEOPLE WOULD DIE BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SANITARY CONDITIONS AND POOR HEALTH. IN SOME WAYS THIS WAS TRUE. IN URBANIZED CITIES SUCH AS MANCHESTER AND LONDON, FAMILIES HAD TO LIVE IN CRAMPED SPACES. ALSO, THERE WASNT A SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR GETTING RID OF WASTES, SO LARGE PILES OF SEWAGE BUILT UP IN THE STREETS.

INDUSTRIALIZATION
WEALTH HAS AN INTERESTING WAY OF INFLUENCING PEOPLES LIVES. WHEN BRITAIN STARTED BECOMING INDUSTRIALIZED, MANY PEOPLE NEEDED TO FIND MEANS OF MAKING MONEY BECAUSE THEIR JOBS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN EQUALLY WORKED IN THE FACTORIES FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. CHILDREN WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AS THEY WERE SMALLER, SO THEY WENT INTO MINES AND FIXED MACHINES THAT WERE BROKEN.

THE GOAL
KARL MARX AND THE COMMON PEOPLE IN BRITAIN AT THE TIME

SOCIALISM

THOUGHT THAT SOCIALISM WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EQUALLY FAIR WAY OF GOVERNMENT AT THE TIME. IT GAVE PEOPLE EQUAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTY TO OWNERSHIP OF CORPORATIONS AND OTHER INDUSTRIES. THEY THOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD OWN IT ALL.

WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY STEAM ENGINES, RAIL ROADS, AND STEAM BOATS MANUFACTURED MATERIALS COULD BE TRANSFERRED FASTER.

INDUSTRIALIZATION EFFICIENT ECONOMY

FACTORIES OWNERS CREATED CORPORATIONS WHICH INCREASED THE ECONOMY OF BRITAIN BY CREATING MORE PRODUCTS FOR LESS MONEY.

IN THE END, THE GOAL REACHED WAS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES CREATING MORE GOODS IN A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME.

THE EVENTS
1819 FACTORY ACT(S) 1833 WAS BENEFICIAL TO WOMEN AND
IN THE FACTORIES. CHILDREN ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT LIMITED AGE (9+) AND TIME SPENT

1833 BRITAIN GOT RID OF SLAVERY IN

ITS EMPIRE

1842 MINES ACT

MADE IT ILLEGAL WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO WORK IN THE MINES

1847 THE 10 HOURS ACT

ENFORCED THAT CHILDREN COULDNT WORK IN THE FACTORIES LONGER THAN 10 HOURS

THE END.
IMPERIALISM
THERE WAS MUCH INEQUALITY BETWEEN BRITAIN AND INDIA, FOR EXAMPLE. SINCE BRITAIN USED INDIAS NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ITS OWN ECONOMY AND INDUSTRIALIZATION, INDIAN PEOPLE WERE NOT TREATED WELL. INDIA BRITAIN

AUSTRIA AUSTRALIA ENGLAND

FRANCE IRELAND RUSSIA

GERMANY UNITED STATES NEW ZEALAND

PROBLEM
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR RECONSTRUCTION
SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN STATES HAD DIFFERING VIEWS ABOUT SLAVERY: THE SOUTH NEEDED IT FOR THE ECONOMY, SINCE THEY RELIED ON WORKERS FOR THE PLANTATIONS. THE NORTH HAD MORE THAN ONE INDUSTRY TO FACILITATE THE ECONOMY, AND SO THEY HAD FREE WORKERS AND THOUGHT SLAVERY WAS MORALLY WRONG. THIS DISAGREEMENT BROUGHT ABOUT THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR WHICH LASTED FIVE YEARS. THE YEARS AFTER BROUGHT HARDSHIP FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE SINCE THEY WERENT FULLY ACCEPTED AS FREE PEOPLE. THIS MINDSET LEAD TO SEGREGATION.
