What is the correlation between the location of natural resources and the location of the products? 3. Why do you think the mapmaker included major canals and railroads on this map?

2. 25.1 The Beginnings of Industrialization The Industrial Revolution starts in England and soon spreads to other countries.

9. Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain New Ways of Working ◦Industrial Revolution—greatly increases output of machine-made goods. ◦Revolution begins in England in the middle 1700s.

10. Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain The Agricultural Revolution Paves the Way ◦Enclosures—large farm fields enclosed by fences or hedges ◦Wealthy landowners buy, enclose land once owned by village farmers. ◦Enclosures allowed experimentation with new agricultural methods

12. Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain Rotating Crops ◦Crop rotation— switching crops each year to avoid depleting soil ◦Livestock breeders allow only the best to breed, improve food supply. Satellite image of rotated crops in Kansas in June 2001

13. Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain Why the Industrial Revolution Began in England ◦Industrialization— move to machine production of goods ◦Britain has natural resources—coal, iron, rivers, harbors ◦Expanding economy in Britain encourages investment ◦Britain has all needed factors of production— land, labor, capital

14. Inventions Spur Industrialization Changes in the Textile Industry ◦Weavers work faster with flying shuttles and spinning jennies ◦Water frame uses water power to drive spinning wheels

16. Spinning Jenny

18. “Carding” is a mechanical process that breaks up locks and unorganized clumps of fiber and then aligns the individual fibers so that they are more or less parallel with each other. This enabled them to be more easily spun into thread. The old method was done by hand, using these tools.  carding machine-replaces the hand process of combing out the fibers before they can be spun into yarn or thread.

19. Inventions Spur Industrialization ◦Power loom, and spinning mule speed up production, improve quality.

20. Inventions Spur Industrialization Factories—buildings that contain machinery for manufacturing

21. Inventions Spur Industrialization ◦C◦Cotton Gin boosts American cotton production to meet British demand "The First Cotton Gin" - An engraving from Harper's Magazine, 1869. This carving depicts a roller gin, which preceded Whitney's invention.

22. Improvements in Transportation Watt’s Steam Engine ◦Need for cheap, convenient power spurs development of steam engine ◦James Watt improves steam engine, financed by Matthew Boulton ◦Boulton—an entrepreneur—organizes, manages, takes business risks. James Watt Matthew Boulton

24. Improvements in Transportation Water Transportation ◦Robert Fulton builds first steamboat, the Clermont, in 1807 ◦England’s water transport improved by system of canals

25. Fulton’s North River Steamboat as it appeared in 1807, later named Clermont

26. Improvements in Transportation Road Transportation ◦British roads are improved; companies operate them as toll roads. These were called “turnpike trusts”. The A4 is a historic major road in England, portions of which are known as the Great West Road and Bath Road.

27. Improvements in Transportation ◦By the early Victorian period toll gates were perceived as an impediment to free trade. The multitude of small trusts were frequently charged with being inefficient in use of resources and potentially suffered from petty corruption. ◦The railway era spelt disaster for most turnpike trusts. The Round House (Old Toll House) at Stanton Drew

28. The Railway Age Begins Steam-Driven Locomotives ◦In 1804, Richard Trevithick builds first steam-driven locomotive

29. Trevithick's No. 14 engine, built by Hazledine and Co., Bridgnorth, about 1804, and illustrated after being rescued circa 1885; from Scientific American Supplement, Vol. XIX, No. 470, January 3, 1885.

30. The Coalbrookdale company then built a rail locomotive for him, but little is known about it, including whether or not it actually ran.

31. Trevithick's 1804 locomotive. This full-scale replica of steam-powered railway locomotive is in the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea

32. The Railway Age Begins ◦In 1825, George Stephenson builds worlds first railroad line. ◦He is called the “Father of Railways”. ◦His rail gauge of 4 feet 8½ inches (1,435 mm), sometimes called "Stephenson gauge", is the world's standard gauge.

33. The Railway Age Begins Liverpool-Manchester Railroad ◦Entrepreneurs build railroad from Liverpool to Manchester

34. The Railway Age Begins ◦Stephenson’s Rocket acknowledged as the best locomotive (1829)

39. The Railway Age Begins Railroads Revolutionize Life in Britain ◦Railroads spur industrial growth, create jobs ◦Cheaper transportation boosts many industries; people move to cities
