1. The Industrial Revolution

2. The Industrial Revolution – Major Effects …
Changed the
look of cities,
created jobs,
created wealth,
and increased
pollution.

3. Why Industrialization began in Britain?
Textiles
Steam Power
Production Methods

4. Why the Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain?
- Beginning in Great Britain, as an island, it was isolated from the destruction of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe
- Great Britain had the dominant fleet in the world to control international trade and to prevent theft of goods
- Large supply of coal, iron, lead, copper, tin, and wood, and navigable rivers for shipping of goods
- Stable political situation with a philosophical acceptance to change
Great Britain, now called the United Kingdom

5. Development of Industry
Industry means the mass
production of a certain good or
goods.
- On Left: Flying Shuttle, which helped to weave thread more quickly

6. Textile Industry Aside from the Flying Shuttle (on
previous page), the Spinning
Jenny more quickly weaved raw
cotton into usable yarn.
The Spinning Jenny
The Water Frame or Spinning Frame utilized water for power and more quickly spun thread.
Water Frame

7. More Textile Developments
This invention
combined the technology of
the Water Frame and the
Spinning Jenny, and it
created thinned thread in
less time.
This machine was too large
for homes but suitable for
factories.

8. James Watt’s Steam Engine
Steam Power
The steam engine was initially
used to pump water out of the
ground to mine the area.
Thomas Savery, James Watt,
Matthew Boulton, and Richard
Trevithick are credited with the
most important advancements.

The Steam Engine
The key invention for
the Industrial
Revolution, used to
create energy to mass
produce machine
powered goods and
later used to transport
goods on rivers and on
railroads

11. New Production Methods
The Industrial Revolution gave rise to new production methods that made creating products faster and easier!!
* Interchangeable Parts: To solve the problem of replacing broken parts on equipment (i.e. guns) and products (i.e. clocks), making products with interchangeable parts would allow for simply replacing a broken part instead of throwing the product away. * Mass Production / Division of Labor: By dividing tasks amongst different workers products could be created much faster.
