What do you think it means to be industrialized?
Can you give an example of a country that is, and one that is not?
BELL WORK: GET PAPER FROM FRONT!
1750-1850(But really ongoing)
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
MAP OF LDCS-- MDCS
I can explain the causes of the Industrial Revolution and why it began in Britain.
I can analyze the social, political and economic effects of the Industrial Revolution.
LEARNING TARGETS
The slow shift in production from simple hand tools to complex machines. A shift from an agricultural to a manufacturing economy
A shift from rural to urban
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Improved farming methodsCrop rotation, turnips to restore soil, seed drill, crossbreeding of livestock
Enclosure: open farmlands enclosed into more productive fields.
New technology James Watt – steam engine- became the key power source of the IR.
Improved iron- used for the construction of machines and steam engines
CAUSES
Using the text on pgs 250-253, make a concept web with the key factors that helped Britain take an early lead in industrialization. Explain them, don’t JUST use one word!
WHY IT BEGINS IN BRITAIN:

WHY THIS REVOLUTION IS SO IMPORTANT:
THE SEED DRILL
THE STEAM ENGINE
WORLD’S FIRST IRON BRIDGE, 1779
“The Cottage Industry” – the world’s first mechanized industry
High demand for cloth – raw cotton was distributed to peasant families who spun it into thread and then wove thread into cloth in their homes. Small wages for workers, big profits for entrepreneurs.
THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
John Kay – flying shuttleJames Hargreaves – spinning jennyRichard Arkwright – water frame
Main Idea: New machines were too big for homes. New buildings were built to house them.
“Factories” – located near riversPower, transportation
Production increased exponentially. Completely changed the economies and societies of Europe.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY INVENTIONS
First steam locomotive: 1804 – traveled 2.5 mph
1829-The Rocket – 16 mph, but still killed a member of the British Cabinet not paying attention on its debut
World’s first railroad: The Liverpool-to-Manchester opened in 1830.
By 1860, trains were moving 60mph.
THE TRANSPORTATION REVOLUTION

THE EFFECTS OF THE I.R.
New farming techniques and mass production of goods put farmers and skilled craftsman out of work.
Migrated to factory towns in search of work.City population exploded
Ex: Manchester: 17,000 in 1750; 70,000 by 1800
Living conditions horribleOvercrowding, entire families slept in 1 room slums
No police, fire, health, water, or sanitation services
URBANIZATION
Sewage ran through the streets
“Londoners living near the Thames River kept their doors and windows closed year-round due to the smell of the river”
LIVING CONDITIONS
INDOOR BATHROOMS AKA EARTH CLOSETS
12-16 hour workdays
No mandatory breaks
No safety devices on machines
No disability or workers comp or insurance…if you got sick or injured, you just lost your job
Employers preferred women and children workers:
Paid them lessEasier to manage
Smaller hands
