The Beginnings of Industrialization

2. Prelude: The Population Explosion
○Famine
○War
○Disease
○Stricter quarantine
measures
○The elimination of
the black rat

3. Historical Significance of the
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution changed human
life drastically
More was created in the last 250+ years than
in the previous 2500+ years of known
human history

4. What was the Industrial
Revolution?
The Industrial Revolution refers to the
greatly increased output of machine
made goods that began in England in
the 1700s

5. The Industrial Revolution
Machines were invented which replaced
human labor
New energy sources were developed to
power the new machinery –water,
steam, electricity, oil (gas, kerosene)
Increased use of metals and minerals
Aluminum, coal, copper, iron, etc.

6. Britain Takes
the Lead
Great Britain’s advantages:
Plentiful iron and coal
A navigable river system
Colonies that supplied
raw materials and
bought finished goods
A government that
encouraged
improvements in
transportation and used
its navy to protect
British trade

7. Development of the Domestic
System of Production
Domestic system developed in England
Late 1600s-late 1800s
Domestic system could not keep up with
demand

8. The Industrial Revolution
Transportation improved
Ships
○Wooden ships → Iron ships →Steel ships
○Wind-powered sails → Steam-powered boilers
Trains
Automobiles
Communication improved
Telegraph
Telephone
Radio

9. Background of the Industrial Revolution
Scientific Revolution
Intellectual Revolution
Encouraged learning and the search for better
and newer ways of doing things
Agricultural Revolution
Landowners experimented in their enclosures
Seed drill
Crop rotation
Livestock breeding

10. The Seed Drill

11. Innovations:
The Threshing Machine

12. Townshend’s
Four-Field System
crop rotation example
Charles
“Turnip”
Townshend

13. Factory System
Developed to replace the domestic system of
production
Faster method of production
Workers concentrated in a set location
Production anticipated demand
For example: Under the domestic system, a woman
might select fabric and have a businessperson give it
to a home-based worker to make into a dress. Under
the factory system, the factory owner bought large lots
of popular fabrics and had workers create multiple
dresses in common sizes, anticipating that women
would buy them.

15. Why the Industrial Revolution
Started in England
Capital for
investing in the
means of
production
Colonies and
Markets for
manufactured
goods
Raw materials
for production
Workers
Merchant
marine
Geography

16. England’s Resources: Capital
merchants had the capital to invest in the factory
system –money to buy buildings, machinery, and
raw materials
Its colonies gave England access to enormous
markets and vast amounts of raw materials
possessed the necessary raw materials to create
the means of production (coal, iron)
English people could freely travel from the
countryside to the cities
World’s largest merchant fleet

17. England’s Resources:
Geography
England is the political center of Great Britain,
an island
Great Britain did not suffer fighting on its land
during the wars of the 18
th
century
Island has excellent harbors and ports
Damp climate benefited the textile industry
(thread did not dry out)
Government stable
No internal trade barriers

18. Inventions Spur
Industrialization
Weavers work faster-flying shuttles/
spinning jennies
Water frame uses H2O to drive spinning
wheels
Power loom-spinning mules speed up
production
Move machinery to factories

19. “Necessity Is the Mother of
Invention”
Spinning machine
Need to speed up
weaving
Power loom created

20. “Necessity Is the Mother of
Invention”
Power loom
Increased demand
for raw cotton
Invention of the
cotton gin

21. “Necessity Is the Mother of
Invention”
Cotton gin
Demands for stronger iron
Improvements in iron
smelting and the development
of steel (Bessemer process)

22. “Necessity Is the Mother of
Invention”
As more steam-
powered machines
were built, factories
needed more coal to
create this steam
Mining methods
improved to meet
the demand for
more coal
•The process of inventing never ends
•One invention inevitably leads to improvements upon it
and to more inventions

front
Also, turn your current event into your
box
How was your second drawing of the
urban village different than your first?
Were you surprised at how fast these
towns grew in just 100 years?

laying out your town?

24. The Birth and Growth of the
Textile Industry
Richard Arkwright (English)
Water frame,
1769
Water-powered spinning machine that was too large
for use in a home –led to the creation of factories
James Hargreaves (English)
Spinning
jenny, 1765
Home-based machine that spun thread 8 times faster
than when spun by hand
John Kay (English)
Flying shuttle,
1733
Hand-operated machine which increased the speed of
weaving

25. Elias Howe (American)
Sewing machine, 1846 Speed of sewing greatly increased
Eli Whitney (American)
Cotton gin, 1793
Device separated raw cotton from cotton seeds, increasing the cotton
supply while lowering the cost of raw cotton
Edward Cartwright (English)
Power loom, 1785
Water-powered device that automatically and quickly wove thread
into cloth
Samuel Crompton (English)
Spinning mule, 1779
Combined the spinning jenny and the water frame into a single device,
increasing the production of fine thread
These machines were so large. They were placed in
large buildings called factories

27. Development of Steam Engines
Early water power involved mills built over
fast-moving streams and rivers
Problems-rivers far removed, not enough
power, prone to drying
James Watt, Scotland (1769)
Improved Newcomen’s steam engine to power
machinery

28. Steam Engines
By 1800, steam engines were replacing
water wheels as sources of power for
factories
Factories relocated near raw materials,
workers, and ports
Cities grew around the factories built
near central England’s coal and iron
mines
Manchester, Liverpool

29. Transportation
Increased
production
Search for
more markets
and raw
materials
Better and
