Rise of Industrial Revolution

The Industrial revolution was the transition to

new manufacturing processes in Europe and the
US, in the period from about 1760 to sometime
between 1820 and 1840.The development of
trade and the rise of business were major
causes of the Industrial Revolution.
 Causes And Effects

 Of the many factors that led to the Industrial Revolution, two of the
biggest and most significant were the Embargo Act of 1807 and the
War of 1812.
 The Embargo Act of 1807 forced the United States to manufacture
their own goods because they would not be able to trade for foreign
goods. The War of 1812 revealed the necessity for a better
transportation system, economic independence, and independent
markets. After both of these events, Americans began to produce
their own goods. They began to think of innovative, efficient ways to
improve the economy. They began the Industrial Revolution.
Continued…….
 Goods became cheaper because of the cheaper and more efficient
production of goods, people could buy more of the good. They could
buy everything they needed, and would have some money left
over.
 More factories were built as efficient machines were invented. With
machines that could mass-produce and a plethora of workers,
factories could now produce much more than could have before.
 Everything took place at a faster pace [1] .
 Industrial Revolution in Britain
 The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, and many of the
technological innovations were of British origin.
 By the mid-18th century Britain was the world's leading commercial
nation,controlling a global trading empire with colonies in North America
and the Caribbean, and with some political influence on the Indian
subcontinent, through the activities of the East India Company.

 A number of factors contributed to Britain’s role as the birthplace

of the Industrial Revolution. For one, it had great deposits of coal
and iron ore, which proved essential for industrialization.
Continued….

 Additionally, Britain was a politically stable society, as well as the

world’s leading colonial power, which meant its colonies could serve
as a source for raw materials, as well as a marketplace for
manufactured good.
 As demand for British goods increased, merchants needed more
cost-effective methods of production, which led to the rise of

mechanization and the factory system [1].

Important Technological Developments
Innovation And Industrialization
 Developments of various industries played a central role in
Industrial Revolution such as:
 Textile Industry
 Iron Industry ,etc.

  In the early 18th century, Englishman Abraham Darby (1678-

1717) discovered a cheaper, easier method to produce cast

iron, using a coke-fueled (as opposed to charcoal-fired)

furnace.
Continued…
 In the 1850s, British engineer Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) developed
the first inexpensive process for mass-producing steel. Both iron and
steel became essential materials, used to make everything from
appliances, tools and machines, to ships, buildings and infrastructure.
 Before mechanization and factories, textiles were made mainly in
people’s homes (giving rise to the term cottage industry), with
merchants often providing the raw materials and basic equipment, and
then picking up the finished product.
 In the 1700s, a series of innovations led to ever-increasing
productivity, while requiring less human energy [1].
Transportation And The
Industrial Revolution
Continued…
 The .transportation industry also underwent significant
transformation during the Industrial Revolution.
 Before the advent of the steam engine, raw materials and
finished goods were hauled and distributed via horse-drawn
wagons, and by boats along canals and rivers.
 In the early 1800s, American Robert Fulton (1765-1815) built the
first commercially successful steamboat.
 In the early 1800s, British engineer Richard Trevithick (1771-
1833) constructed the first railway steam locomotive [1].
Communication And Banking in
Industrial Revolution
Continued….
 Communication became easier during the Industrial Revolution with
such inventions as the telegraph.
 The Industrial Revolution also saw the rise of banks and industrial
financiers, as well as a factory system dependent on owners and
managers [1].
 Quality of Life During Industrial
Revolution
 The Industrial Revolution brought about a greater volume and
variety of factory-produced goods and raised the standard of living

for many people, particularly for the middle and upper classes .
 Industrialization also meant that some craftspeople were replaced
by machines.
 Life for the poor and working classes continued to be filled with
challenges. Wages for those who labored in factories were low and
working conditions could be dangerous and monotonous. Unskilled
workers had little job security and were easily replaceable.
Continued…
 Conditions for Britain’s working-class began to gradually improve by
the later part of the 19th century, as the government instituted
various labor reforms and workers gained the right to form trade

unions [1].
Industrialization Moves Beyond
Britain
 The British enacted legislation to prohibit the export of their
technology and skilled workers; however, they had little success in
this regard.
 Industrialization spread from Britain to other European countries,
including Belgium, France and Germany, and to the United States.
 By the mid-19th century, industrialization was well-established
throughout the western part of Europe and America’s northeastern
region. By the early 20th century, the U.S. had become the world’s
leading industrial nation [1].
Drawbacks of Industrialization
 The main disadvantages of industrialization include:
• Deterioration of quality of life due to urbanization which are
generally more crowded than rural areas. This leads to many
problems for the individual and the society including psychological
disorders, crimes and other social problems.
 By far ,the biggest negative effect is on:
• Environmental
• Social
• Financial , etc [2].
