Key Concept 5.1 INDUSTRIALISM AND GLOBAL CAPITALISM
2
Industrialization fundamentally altered the production of goods around the world. It not only changed how goods were produced and consumed, as well as what was considered a “good,” but it also had far-reaching effects on the global economy, social relations, and culture. Although it is common to speak of an “Industrial Revolution,” the process of industrialization was a gradual one that unfolded over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, eventually becoming global. KEY CONCEPT 5.1

Flying Shuttle- weave cloth 2x as fast as a person Need more thread spinning jenny- could spin 8 spindles of thread at once Spinning jenny still needed highly skilled laborers Water frame- low skill needed, stronger thread, faster Raw cotton separated using the cotton gin This created the factory system (1) TEXTILE INDUSTRY
4
The Industrial Revolution was one of the most significant elements of Europe’s modern transformation Initial period 1750-1900 Drew on the Scientific Revolution Utterly transformed European society Pushed Europe into a position of global dominance Was more fundamental than any breakthrough since the Agricultural Revolution Where are we now? Beginning of a movement leading to worldwide industrialization? Stuck in the middle of a world permanently divided between rich and poor countries? Approaching the end of an environmentally unsustainable industrial era? INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
5
Industrialization fundamentally changed how goods were produced But how did we get to that point? KEY CONCEPT 5.1 I
6
Europe’s location on the Atlantic Ocean (2) FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
7
Geographical distribution of coal, iron, and timber (3-5) FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
8
European demographic changes (6) England: Guilds largely disappeared Growing population Aristocrats interested in commerce British worldwide commerce already Politics encouraged commercialization and economic innovation Religious tolerance Tariffs Easy to form companies and forbid workers’ unions Unified internal market Patent laws Checks on royal authority FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
9
Urbanization/Private Property (7/9) Enclosure Movement Improved agricultural practices FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
10
Food prices low Freed up labor Crop rotation Selective breeding of animals Lighter plows Higher- yielding seeds FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (8)
11
Abundance of Rivers and Canals (10) Unified internal markets FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
12
Access to foreign markets (11) FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
13
The accumulation of capital (12) Entrepreneurs combined capital, raw materials, labor and ideas to make profit FACTORS THAT LED TO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
14
The development of machines made it possible to exploit vast new resources Machines Steam engine (13) Internal combustion engine (14) Fossil Fuel energy (15) Oil Coal MACHINES
15
Biological “old regime”- human/animal power; burning biomass (wood/wax) Biological “new regime”- fossil fuels- coal/oil/gas Deforestation in England led to greater use of coal Steam Power made it possible to exploit the energy stored in the fossil fuels Greatly increased the energy available to human societies NEW SOURCES OF ENERGY
16
Concentrates production in one place (materials, labor) (16) Located near the sources of power (rather than labor or markets) Requires a lot of capital investment (factory, machines, etc) Textile Factory Workers in England: FACTORY SYSTEM 1813 2400 looms 150, 000 workers 1833 85, 000 looms 200, 000 workers 1850224, 000 looms>1 million workers
17
Rigid schedule 12-14 hour day Dangerous conditions Mind-numbing monotony Specialization of Labor (17) FACTORY SYSTEM
18
EnglandRussia SPREAD OF INDUSTRIALIZATION (18)
19
Slower that Northern Europe Fewer laborers Lack of capital British craftsmen started cotton textile industry in New England in 1820s Heavy iron and steel industries in 1870s Rail networks developed in 1860s; integrated various regions of United States SPREAD TO UNITED STATES
20
1870-1914 (19) 1 st Industrial Revolution dominated by trial and error Figured out what worked, but no real understanding of how they worked e.g. power machinery without understanding thermodynamics 2 nd defined by science More efficient steam engines Electricity- telegraph, understanding of physics of electrical impulses, AC Current (22) New methods of steel production made steel stronger and cheaper leading to steel becoming the fundamental material of industry (20) Chemistry- German leaders- understanding of chemistry- new dyes, explosives, fertilizers, rubber, pharmaceuticals (21) American System of manufacturing- complex products made from mass- produced individual components- precision machinery (23) SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
