Presentation on Industrial Revolution

1. Industrial revolution

2. What is industrial revolution??? The Industrial revolution refers to a period of technological advancements and changes in how goods were produced from the late 18 th to early 20 th century.

3. Meaning of industrial revolution.............. There was a significant transformation of industry and the economy in Britain between the 1780s and the 1850s. It was called the ‘ First Industrial Revolution ’ l.. L Industrial revolution, in modern history,the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. These technological changes introduced novel ways of working and living and fundamentally transformed society. It experienced the first major break through from a rural, handicraft economy to one controlled by urban, machine driven production.

4. Began and first used term ‘Industrial revolution’......... Industrial Revolution was first began in Britain in 18 th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although earlier used by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by thethe English Economic Historian ‘Arnold Toyanbee ’ (1852-83) to describe Britain’s Economic Development from 1760-1840. Since , Toynbee’s time the term has been broadly applied as a process of Economic Transformation than as a period of time in a particular setting. This explains why some areas, such as India and China, did no begin their First Industrial revolutions until the 20 th century, while others, such as the United States and .western Europe, began undergoing “second Industrial revolutions by the late 19 th century.

5. Characteristics of the Industrial revolution The main features involved in the Industrial Revolutions were Tecnology , socioeconomic and culture. The Technological changes included the following : The use of new basic material, chiefly Iron and Steel. The use of new energy resources, including both fules and motive powers, such as Coal, the Steam engine, electricity, petroleum, and the Internal-combustion engine. The invention of new New machines, such as the Spinning jenny and the Power loom tht permitted increased production with a smaller expenditure of human energy. A new organization of work known as the Factory system, which entailed increased division of labour aand specialization of function.

6. ............ ............... ................ .................. Important developments in transportation and communication , including the steam locomotive, steamship, automobile, airplane, telegraph, and radio. The increasing application of Science to industry. These technological changes made possible a tremendously increased use of natural resources and the mass production of manufactured goods.

7. More about industrial revolution............ England , an agriculture country was now turned into a manufacture country. The production increased mainfold . Things were available at cheaper rates. Improved methods of communication followed. The economic progress and Industrialization of England influenced the social and cultural life of the people. It had far-reaching affects on the political history of England. By 1850 the Industrial Revolution had penetrated into Belgium , Switzerland , France , Germany and USA. By1900 it had extended to Sweden , Italy , Russia , Japan & Argentina. Presently it is penetrating into China , India and Africa.

8. Reason‘s why Industrial Revolution began in england ..... There were several reasons some are:: Political stability , common laws , single currency and increasing markets. The agricultural revolution increased food production. Now , the landless farmers were forced to move for jobs elsewhere or to nearby towns. The growing numbers of banks consolidated the financial system. There were about 26000 inventions in the 18 th century AD. More than 13000 were listed during AD 1782-1800. England was rich in minerels like coal , iron ore , lead , copper and tin. The Britsh iron industry increased its output fourfold between AD 1800 and 1830. Its production was the cheapest in Europe. Moreover , England was smelting more iron than the rest of the world’s iron put together by AD 1848.

9. ........ ........... .............. .................. .................... .By the invention of a series of simple mechanical devices , the English cotton industry flooded the world markets from the 1780s. Steam power changed the whole scenario of industrialization. British steam engines were generating more than 70per cent of the total European horsepower by 1840. Steam engine tecnology placed England ahead of others. By the 18 th century AD , London got a global importance.. A good network of rivers,an indented coastline and the spread of railways helped the movement of goods.

10. MAJOR invention. ............. The following invention spurred the process of industrialization: : THE FLYING SHUTTLE LOOM – The Flying Shuttle Loom was designed by JOHN KAY in 1733. It could weave broader fabrics in less time.

11. The spinning jenny THE SPINNING JENNY was made by JAMES HARGRE in 1764. On this machine , a single person could spin many threads of yarn at the same time.

12. The water frame THE WATER FRAME was invented by RICHARD ARKWRIGHT in 176.It can produce much stronger thread.

13. The mule THE MULE was invented by SAMUEL CROMPTON in 1779. It can spin strong and fine yarn.

14. The power loom....... THE POWER LOOM was invented by EDMUND CARTWRIGHT in 1785. It was designed in 1784. It made the task of spinning and weaving easy. It could be used to weave any kind of material.

15. Impacts of industrial revolution There are many impacts of the industrial revolution. Some are ::: It reshaped the life style of men, women and children. It introduced the factory system which , in turn , spurred the migration of millions from the countryside into cities. The industrial revolution was the root cause of capitalism. The class of rich individuals developed and their capital multiplied. The average life spam of workers shortened in comparison to any other social group in cities.
