2. Where did industry originate?
Industrialization

Where did Industrialization originate?

3. Where did industry originate?
In Great Britain, during the late eighteenth century, the Industrial Revolution was born.
Innovations in manufacturing and efficiency brought higher quantities of high quality goods to consumers for lower prices than ever before in history.
Goods such as guns, food, tobacco, and textiles were processed and manufactured efficiently.

4. Cottage Industries
Manufacturing based in homes rather than in factories
Commonly found before the Industrial Revolution
Important cottage industry: textiles
Putters-out: conducted transactions between workers and merchants; the “middle men”

5. Examples of Technology created by the Industrial Revolution
Steam engine (1769)—James Watt
Puddling (method that effectively purified pig iron)—Henry Cort
Modern railway (1784)—William Symington and William Murdoch
Cotton gin (1793)—Eli Whitney
Canning method (1810)—Nicholas Appert
Tinned can (1839)—Peter Durand

7. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Iron Industry
This was the first industry to benefit from invention of the steam engine.
Iron ore mined from the ground was smelted in blast furnaces, poured into casts, then transported for further refinement from the pig iron form.
The steam engine kept the furnaces hot during the heating and cooling of the iron and steel during production.

8. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Coal Industry
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the primary source of energy was wood.
Wood was becoming scarce because it was being used for fuel, shipbuilding, construction, and furniture.
The industries (furnace, mills, and forges) became clustered into four large integrated centers, all situated near coal fields:
Clydeside
South Wales
Staffordshire
South Yorkshire

9. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Engineering
1795—James Watt and Matthew Bolson began their own business.
They produced hundreds of new machines that greatly increased the efficiency of the industrial process.
This gave birth to modern engineering and the manufacture of machine parts.

10. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Transportation
There were transportation inventions, such as canals and railways, during the Industrial Revolution.
Development of the railway, also known as the “iron horse”
1825—first public railway in the north of England

11. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Textiles
: Many inventions transformed the textile industry from a cottage industry into a complex factory system
Chemicals: used to bleach and dye clothing
It was discovered that, by combining natural fibers, such as wool and cotton, with various chemicals, new synthetic materials would be formed.
Today: the largest textile factories in the world are owned by chemical companies.

12. Industries Affected During the Industrial Revolution
Food Processing
The workers of the Industrial Revolution could not grow their own food and work factory jobs.
Canning preserved food by killing the bacteria that spoil food.
The tinned can made canning cheaper than earlier glass bottling techniques.

13. Diffusion of the Industrial Revolution from the United Kingdom
1851: Crystal Palace: World’s Fair in London; symbolized Britain’s dominance in the Industrial Revolution
At the time, Britain produced ½ of the world’s cotton fabric and iron AND mined 2/3 of the coal being used in the world.
The Industrial Revolution spread eastward to Europe and westward to the U.S.

14. DIFFUSION TO EUROPE
The political disruptions of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars delayed the spread of the Industrial Revolution to other European countries until the end of the 19th century. Then, it reached the Netherlands, Russia, and Sweden.
The Netherlands, Russia, and Sweden did not reach the level of industrialization of France, Britain, Belgium, and Germany until the 20th century.

15. DIFFUSION TO THE U.S.
Samuel Slater, a former worker at a factory in England, built the first U.S. textile mill in Rhode Island in 1791.
To avoid entanglement in the Napoleonic Wars, the U.S. imposed a trade embargo with Europe in The embargo sparked domestic industrial development in the U.S.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries industrial technology spread to Japan, Canada, and many former British colonies.

16. Diffusion of Industrial Revolution
For a century, Great Britain held a virtual monopoly on its industrial innovations
Government actively tried to prevent diffusion
Gave Britain enormous economic advantage
Contributed greatly to growth and strength of British Empire
Continental Europe received its impact in last half of the nineteenth century

17. Diffusion of railroads across Europe provides a good index of the spread of technology and the Industrial Revolution
Was diffusion hierarchical or contagious?

18. Diffusion of Industrial Revolution
Diffusion of the Industrial Revolution changed cultures in much of the world.

19. Diffusion beyond Great Britain
Industrial technology finally diffused beyond the British Isles
United States began rapid adoption of new technology about 1850
About 1900, Japan was the first major non-Western country to undergo full industrialization
Early in the 20th century, industrialization spread into Russia and Ukraine
In the second half of the 20th century, countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, China, India, and Singapore joined the manufacturing age

20. Remember that industry remains concentrated in four regions!
Eastern North America
Western Europe
Eastern Europe
(e.g. Russia)
East Asia (e.g. Japan)

21. Interesting…
Toys ‘R Us is now at the site of the first factory in Great Britain—Manchester, England

22. Artist’s View of Industrialization
Poets and artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries reacted strongly to the emerging landscape.
Have we agreed to the ongoing destruction of the planet in exchange for living comfortably today?

23. Renewable resource crises
Industry creates a landscape, not for beauty, but for profit and utility
Renewable resource crises
Deforestation
Open-pit mines
Strip-mining
Overfishing
Industrial landscapes
Air and water pollution
Acid rain
Greenhouse effect and ozone depletion
