1 Ideologies of the Early 19th Century
Conservativism: The prevailing ideology at the Congress of Vienna Wanted to re-establish the social and political structure of Europe before the French Revolution Often appealed to rural peasants as well as the aristocracy Favored an established, official religion - - -Catholic in Austria and Southern Europe -Protestant in Northern Europe -Orthodoxy in Eastern Europe Believed that liberal ideas such as natural rights and popular sovereignty led to chaos and disorder Sought to suppress revolutionary ideas

2 Liberalism: Usually the educated middle class (bourgeoisie) favored liberal ideas Wanted limited government, separation of government powers, natural rights, and elected leaders Believed the right to vote should be limited to male land-owners Supported laissez-faire economics

3 Nationalism: As European powers sought to expand territory and power, they continuously redrew political boundaries, causing an increase in nationalist sentiments National groups share a common history, ethnicity, language, and religion Nationalism often fostered intolerance, persecution, and violence The earliest nationalist uprisings occurred in the Ottoman Balkans and parts of Austria’s empire

4 Nationalism was the driving force behind both German and Italian unification movements in the 19th century.

5 “To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making.” -Otto von Bismarck
“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.” - Otto von Bismarck “Universal suffrage is the government of a house by its nursery.”

6 Franco-Prussian War, 1870 September A shattered Emperor Napoleon III (France) surrendered his sword to William, King of Prussia (later proclaimed Kaiser of German Empire a year later at Versailles), after 44 days of warfare that devastated France and confirmed newly-united Germany as the most powerful nation in continental Europe.

9 The Making of Industrial Society
Chapter 29 The Making of Industrial Society

10 Industrial Revolution in a nutshell
Technological and organizational changes that transformed manufacturing and led to increased productivity Major changes Shift from doing work by hand to doing work by machine Dependence of coal and petroleum for energy Led to increased population, development of new ideas (socialism & communism—labor/economic-based) Led to the creation of a middle class, shift of women’s role New divisions of labor (due to inventions—assembly belt & interchangeable parts), development of large businesses By 19th century, the factory was the dominant site of industrial production in Europe, the USA & Japan Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

12 Early leader: Great Britain (why?)
High agricultural productivity  population growth  occupation specialization People could choose to work on tasks, not cultivation Physical geography also helped Location near Atlantic Ocean, navigable rivers (Thames!), canals helped facilitate trade Good climate  cities established (centers of banking) Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

13 Early leader: Great Britain (why?)
Relationship between Europe & Americas = ecological relief Major crops, etc. were being grown on colonies which expanded land base. Also allowed exploitation of natural resources from Americas Major reason: COAL DEPOSITS! Previous use of wood led to wood shortages Large coal deposits in easy reach of water transport, centers of commerce, pools of labor

14 Mechanization of the Cotton Industry
Consumer demand of cotton goes up after Calico Acts ban imports of cotton (esp. India—competition) Higher demand for cotton in Britain  need for faster production through new inventions Flying shuttle (1733), John Kay—sped up weaving output; stimulated demand for thread The “mule” (1779), Samuel Crompton—steam-powered machine could produce 100 times more thread than a manual wheel Power loom (1785), Edmund Cartwright—water-driven machine, replaced hand weavers by 1820.

16 Other Developments during Industrial Rev.
James Watt: general-purpose steam engine (1765) Most crucial technological development—steam drove mechanical devices that performed work Use of coke (purified coal) as a fuel to produce iron Cheaper than charcoal Allowed iron & steel production to grow (more lots of iron)  increased iron production George Stephenson: first steam-powered locomotive (provides power for trains ) Led to development of other modes of mass transportation  creation of dense transportation networks, encouraged industrialization

17 The Factory System Early modern Europe had adopted “putting-out” system as system of capitalism emerged Individuals worked at home; employers avoided wage restrictions of medieval guilds Rising prices caused factories to replace both guilds and putting-out system Rising demand for textiles, growing use of water & wind power  factories Machines too large, expensive for home use Large buildings could house specialized laborers Urbanization guaranteed supply of cheap labor Factories required new process where each worker performed a single task Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

18 Working Conditions and Industrial Protest
New changes Improved working conditions possible; increases in production Emergence of owner class whose money financed expensive equipment  workers as wage earners, becoming dependent on these owners Demand for broad-range skills to need for specialization Dramatic shift from rural work rhythms Six days a week, fourteen hours a day—very monotonous work Constant & immediate supervision punishments Constant threat of accidents due to lack of safety

19 Working Conditions and Industrial Protest
Violent protests broke out as a result of new working conditions “Luddite” protest against machines, 1811–1816 Masked Luddites destroyed machinery they blamed for low wages & unemployment Avoided violence against people, so were pretty popular Government response: hanging of 14 Luddites (1813) Message that machines were there to stay; movement eventually died out Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

20 The Early Spread of Industrialization
Industrial Revolution only took place in Great Britain for the first 50 years of the 1800s By mid-nineteenth century, industrialization had spread to France, Germany, Belgium, U.S. French revolution and Napoleonic wars set stage Internal trade barriers abolished Dismantling of guilds that discouraged innovation and restricted movement of labor First continental country: Belgium (coal, iron, textiles, glass), then France (UK  Belgium  France) German industrialization proceeded more slowly due to conflict between Germanic states But after 1871 (German unification), Chancellor Otto von Bismarck sponsored rapid industrialization Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

22 Industrialization in North America
USA: abundant land and resources, but few laborers & little money to invest  labor and investment came from England as people travelled across Atlantic & bankers were interested in a new investment Began in 1820s in New England with cotton textile industry Cotton transported from southern states 1870s, heavy iron and steel industries emerged in Pennsylvania & Alabama Abundant supplies of coal & iron ore By 1900, United States an economic powerhouse, industrialization spilling over into Canada Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

23 #TeamUSA USA had abundant natural resources, but they also hindered travel & communication State governments built canals to facilitate transportation Steamship lines & railroads were established by private investors By 1860: railways linked industrial north, agricultural south & Midwestern cities Provided cheap transportation Stimulated coal, iron & steel industries Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

26 Mass Production Throughout 19th century in USA: evolving factory system Cotton industry  diversifying to other industries Eli Whitney (United States, 1765–1825) Invention of cotton gin (1793) Also technique of using machine tools to make interchangeable parts for firearms—workers made only a part that fit every musket of the same model—eventually used for manufacturing clocks, uniforms, shoes Could use unskilled workers, not just ones that knew how to put together a whole musket, other items.

27 Mass Production Mass production rapidly became hallmark of industrial societies Henry Ford, 1913: introduced assembly line for automobile production Conveyor system—each worker formed a specialized a fixed point in assembly line. Made production a LOT faster New production methods  Ford Motor Co. produces half of world’s autos in early 20th century Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved.

29 Big Business Industrialization also spurred the development of capitalist business organization Businesses encouraged to organize in large scale Large factories required start-up capital; joint-stock companies organized Governments in Britain and France laid legal foundation for corporations By late 19th century: corporations controlled most businesses Required large investments in land, labor, or machinery for businesses Investment banks, brokerage firms grew to meet needs of organizations Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

30 Monopolies, Trusts, and Cartels
Large corporations formed trusts & cartels to drive out competition, outperform competitors John D. Rockefeller controlled almost all oil drilling, processing, refining, marketing in U.S. Standard Oil Company and Trust were able to cut costs, undersell competitors through this business practice (“vertical organization”—domination of every facet of an industry) German firm IG Farben controlled as much as 90% of chemical production Merger of chemical & pharmaceutical manufacturers Monopolies continued through 20th century, even with some government attempt to break these up Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

31 Social Change: Industrial Revolution
Massive migration Urbanization Europe  Americas (less populated = new opportunities, more jobs) Emergence of new social classes Middle class & working class formed New patterns of family & work life to adjust to New ideologies (socialism) developed as a way to “reform” these changes Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.

32 Industrial Demographics
Industrialization raised standards of living Production  lower costs of clothing, etc.  variety of clothing New tools  increased agricultural production Locomotives/trains transported goods easier & cheaper  food cheaper Population also grew rapidly due to industrialization Doubled in Europe; 13 million to 145 million by 1900 in North & South America Medical advances, infant mortality also declined with medical advancements –death rates declined, population growth!

34 The Demographic Transition
Industrializing lands experienced marked decline in both fertility and mortality At first, mortality fell faster than fertility Decline in birthrate  slower population growth, stability due to voluntary contraception Population trend continued in Europe, the United States & Japan Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

37 The Urban Environment Worldwide shift in internal migration—urbanization proceeded dramatically as people searched for work Led by Industrial Britain (20% in cities:1800  75%: 1900) Pattern repeated in rest of industrialized world Rapid growth  water & air pollution Widespread burning of fossil fuels Occupational diseases common, tuberculosis & dysentery common illnesses among everyone—unsanitary conditions Income ultimately determined degree of comfort & security one experienced Wealthy generally lived in elegant homes in the suburbs Working poor lived in quickly-constructed, shoddy, crowded dwellings close to factories (Liverpool & Manchester) Later in 19th century: government authorities tended to issues  city life safer, improved sanitation Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

39 Transcontinental Migration
19th & 20th centuries: rapid population growth in Europe encouraged mass migration to America 50 million Europeans migrated  rapid growth of America caused rapid urbanization, especially on E. coast Many Europeans came w/intentions to go back, but the majority remained in America Other reasons for migration British: escape dangerous factories, cities in squalor Irish: 1840s potato famine Jewish Russians: escape anti-Semitic policies by tsar Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.

40 New Social Classes Dramatic changes in social classes as well with industrialization Economic factors resulted in decline of slavery New wealth among capitalists allowed them to become new elite (no more aristocracy) Emergence of a middle class Mostly made of professionals (teachers, physicians, lawyers) Working class also emerged Masses of laborers who generally worked in factories Shift of family from working in groups to separate lives; sharp distinction between work & family life Urban environment also created new types of diversions Sporting events, gambling, drinking, staged animal fights Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.

41 Women at Home and Work Agriculture and domestic manufacturing had easily accommodated women Married/Middle-class women: shift from working to staying at home Encouraged to raise children, manage the home, and preserve traditional family values Working-class women were expected to work until marriage & beyond Most went into domestic service for middle-class families Labor-saving devices replaced women’s industrial jobs Spinning jenny—replaced 10 workers for every one person employed Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

42 Child Labor Children in preindustrial societies worked in & around family home; industrial work took them away from home Easy to exploit, worked for long hours with few breaks Some beaten to keep them awake NEEDED to work due to poverty—needed to survive British parliament began passing laws against child labor: 1840s Eventually, children removed from working world completely More governments began passing child labor laws, making education compulsory (and a priority) Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

44 The Socialist Challenge
Socialists: among most vocal & influential critics of industrial society Disagreed with economic inequalities (wealth gap) Denounced system that permitted exploitation of women & children Wanted to expand Enlightenment understanding of equality (political, legal, social) Very different views on how to achieve socialist society among socialists themselves Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.

45 Utopian Socialists Worked to establish ideal communities that would lead to an equal society Charles Fourier, Robert Owen—leaders of utopian thought Fourier: against competition of market economy, planned model communities held together by love & work done in accordance with temperment & desire Owen: industrialized New Lanark, Scotland—reduced workday, focus on children’s education Experimented with this in Romania, USA but economic & political problems caused fading out Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

46 Karl Marx & Fredrich Engels
Both socialist thinkers believed social problems were due to capitalist economy Capitalism divided society into two classes Capitalists: owned industries & factories Proletariat: working class Police force & courts of law were agencies of capitalists; use art, literature, etc. for keeping capitalists in power Communist Manifesto: Karl Marx Manifesto of the Communist Party (1948) History = history of human struggle between social classes Future was in the working class—capitalism would ultimately fail Social revolution of proletariat  state would die off, but so would coercive institutions  fair, just society Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

47 Social Reform and Trade Unions
Socialism had major impact on nineteenth-century reformers Set labor laws for children, regulation of women’s working hours, addressed insurance and welfare/social reform programs Trade unions formed for collective bargaining Strikes to address workers’ concerns Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

48 Global Effects of Industrialization
Early industrialization: Britain, western European, North America—followed by Japan and Russia later Geographic division of labor Some peoples produced raw materials Others processed and consumed them Uneven economic development Developing export dependencies of Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, south and southeast Asia Low wages, small domestic markets Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.
