1. A New Kind of Revolution
World History
Unit 3, Chapter 7, Section 1

2. Main Idea
In the 1700s, conditions in Great Britain led to the rapid growth of the textile industry, which in turn led to huge changes in many other industries

3. Question column
Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in Great Britain?
Hoe did industrialization cause a revolution in the production of textiles?
How did steam power the Industrial Revolution?
Where did industrialization spread beyond Great Britain?

4. Jethro Tull
Invented the seed drill – a horse drawn machine for planting more efficiently
Started an agricultural revolution that would bring changes to nearly all aspects of life
One farmer’s frustration led to a revolution

5. The Industrial Revolution
During the 1700s technology changes began that would transform the world, this era, when the use of power driven machines were developed, was called the Industrial Revolution, which started in Great Britain
Before people only used human and animal power, developed water and steam power to drive new machines

6. Factors that led to the Industrial Revolution
Exploration and colonialism: Britain’s colonies around the world provided vast raw materials like raw cotton fiber.
Seapower: the largest fleet in the world could carry raw materials and return with finish goods
Political stability: fought wars in Canada and N. America in 1700s, but peaceful at home, so commerce thrived
Government support: Parliament passed laws that favored business
Growth of private investment: private business funded “research and development”

7. Agricultural Factors Jethro Tull invented seed drill in 1701
Livestock breeding methods to raise healthier animals
Crop improvements such as potatoes increased food supplies, increasing the population
The enclosure movement allowed for more efficient farming methods, increasing food supplies

8. 3 factors of production land, labor, capital
Land: Great Britain had all the natural resources it needed- coal for fuel, iron-to build machines, and water-from rivers, streams, canals, and deepwater harbors to transport raw materials and goods.
Labor: greater food supply created a great population, along with displaced farmers from the enclosure movement
Capital: the country was prosperous and had money to spend

9. Textile Revolution
from a cottage industry to completely transformed by industrialization
Wool increased due to the enclosure movement, cotton levels increased from India and the North American colonies

10. Textile Machines: inventors
Cotton gin: Eli Whitney
Spinning jenny: James Hargreaves
The spinning frame: Richard Arkwright
Flying shuttle: John Kay
Power loom: Edmund Cartwright

11. Factories Factory: from the old word “manufactory”
Large buildings that housed new machines
Spinning system driven by water known as the “water frame”

12. Steam Power James Watt developed the steam engine
Less reliance on water for power
Steam power allowed factories to be built near fuel supplies or where workers lived
In 1802 Richard Trevithick used a steam engine to power the first locomotive, essential to the Industrial Revolution
Robert Fulton, an American developed the steamship Clermont in 1807

13. Industry comes to America
Machines and skilled workers were restricted to Great Britain from
Samuel Slater known as the “Father of American Industry, "came to America in 1789 to provide factory and machine plans, which he created from memory.
In 1793, built Slater’s Mill in Pawtucket Rhode Island

14. Industry spreads 1807-spreads to Belgium in Europe
1848-France becomes industrial power
1850-Germany
1868-Japan
1900s-China, India, Russia
