1. Industrialization Spreads

2. Western Industrialization
Britain tried, but failed, to keep the secrets of industrialization from getting out.
Other countries would acquire British technology and create new technologies.
The US and Germany would surpass Britain in steel production
New techniques and inventions made mass production possible.

3. Heavy Metals Industry Henry Bessemer:
developed a steel mass-production process.
EC: Effects of steel included: (3)
It allowed for great amounts of very strong steel to be made quickly.
Steel will allow bigger ships, buildings, and bridges to be built.
It will also make stronger tools and railroads.

4. Alfred Nobel: Swedish chemist. Developed dynamite.
It is a powerful, concentrated explosive.
safer and more stable than nitro-glycerin,
safer than black powder.
He envisioned it being used by mine and construction companies.
Militaries found it useful too.
Upset by the violent use of his invention, Nobel funded a prize for people whose ideas and inventions worked to make the world safer and peaceful.

5. Michael Faraday:
British; changed the energy industry by developing the dynamo.
electricity generator.
produces electricity
Will change millions of factories, businesses, cities, and homes.

6. Thomas Edison: US electrical inventor.
He and his technical staff developed the electric “incandescent lamp” (light bulb).
Would develop the motion picture
camera
projector
Since there were no electric companies, he started the first power plant.
He would start General Electric which made
electric appliances,
generators
transformers.
Many related companies would wire the industrialized nations.

7. Interchangeable parts:
parts that could fit many different kinds of machines.
Made production efficient, simpler, faster, and cheaper.
Also did the same for maintenance.
Eli Whitney was a strong proponent and developer of interchangeable parts.

8. Assembly line: Technique used to make production fast and efficient.
Uses a series of production stages
each building on the previous one.
not a new idea,
the 20th century saw new ideas to make the assembly line the best way for a factory to operate.

9. Henry Ford
credited with developing the assembly line on a massive scale
EC: What did he do? Why?
made cars that ordinary people, like his workers, could afford.
EC: What was his car called?
Ford model T (1919)
“You can have any color you want, so long as it is black!”

10. Orville and Wilbur Wright:
US; flew the first successful, controlled, powered airplane in 1903.

11. Guglielmo Marconi: Italy, developed the “wireless telegraph”, 1890s.
the forerunner of radio,

12. Corporation:
the business, not the owners or shareholders, is liable for any legal or financial problems that arise from doing business.
If business loses money, owners and shareholders do not lose any or much of their own personal money.
Status granted by the government.
Reduces risk to investors, who are more likely to put their money into a company.

13. Stock:
Business would sell this to investors to raise money to operate.
Investors became part owners as long as they owned the stock (share).
Two types of investors
Speculator—short term (buy low, sell high)
Long-term—retirement, build up assets

14. Cartel:
a group of competing businesses join to control prices, set production quotas, and/or control markets.
Called “trusts” and illegal in the United States.
Not illegal internationally--
OPEC (Oil Producing and Exporting Countries) is a cartel of oil-nations that control global petroleum production and pricing.)

15. Homework ends
Class work begins

16. Factories were spreading all across Europe and across the seas to America and Japan.
Countries like France, Germany, the US, and Japan industrialized very quickly:
France, US and Germany had plentiful resources.
All four copied and modified British techniques, often with British expatriates.
US development was accelerated by the large-scale civil war it fought using many industrial methods and inventions.
German development moved rapidly after unification in 1870.
Strict pushing of businesses and the people by the new German leader, Otto von Bismarck.
Japan also unified under a modernist emperor, Meiji.
Meiji’s government, copying the new German empire, also strictly pushed businesses and the people to industrialize quickly.

17. Map Skills, p. 197
2. Which American city probably grew because of its location near coal fields?
Pittsburgh
3. Why would you expect Lyon, France, to become a major industrial city?
It was located near both coal fields and iron ore deposits

18. Graph Skills, p. 198
Which nation had the greatest increase in steel production and which had the smallest?
Largest: United States
Smallest: Great Britain

19. Standards Check, p. 198
What factors led to the industrialization of other nations after Britain?
Other nations had abundant supplies of natural resources and were able to use the ideas and technology that Great Britain had developed.

20. Standards Check, p. 199
Question What was the dynamo’s impact on the Industrial Revolution?
The dynamo generated electricity that powered other machines.

21. Image, p. 199
Judging from this print, how did electricity make life easier for people in the city?
They could travel at night

22. Image, p. 200, 1.
as corporations expanded, they needed more office space; also show off 2.
sample: telephones would have had the greatest impact on offices,
they would have enabled faster communication
therefore, faster production

23. The transportation industry sees more innovations:
Steamships replace sailing ships: bigger, faster
Huge, powerful engines (scale) make great size (turn off sound) possible.
Jobs
Though Harland & Wolfe hired both Irish Protestant and Catholic workers, Protestant workers bullied and drove out many Catholics.
Millions can afford to migrate to the Americas from Europe.
The wealthy can travel in segregated style.
Hundreds of thousands of miles of rail lines built by developed nations
Resources
Harbor cities
Speedily deliver military forces
Cross continents, joining coasts
