ONLY Western Europe had ALL the necessary factors Incentive Materials Skilled labor Africa had more natural resources but not stable governments Ming China strong government and economy but not resources India & China tradition of invention but not the incentive Why Britain? Why not … anywhere else?

8. Mechanization of Textile Production Steam Engine (made water power obsolete) Fossile Fuels (Coal, later petroleum, internal combustion engine) Advancements in production of steel was lighter, stronger and more flexible (king of metals) Industrialization

9. US quick to follow GB with the invention of the cotton gin Single crop plantations (cotton, tobacco) and slavery flourished Northeast textile factories; south raw materials production Railroads By 1900 US world’s largest steel producer US Steel world’s 1 st billion $ company Industrialization Spreads: United States

15. India Cotton production for GB Some Industry but not much till 19 th c. Ottoman Empire Limited progress China Peasant labor, hand made items, some industry (railroad) rejected Western things Africa Remained provider of raw materials Industrialization Spreads: Other Areas

17. Movement of workers from rural areas to cites in search of work due to Agricultural Revolution (loss of job) or desire of change Rise of wages caused factory work to be “man’s work” Efficiency required fewer workers (women and children no longer needed)  But children still used in agriculture and mining  Traditional Family structure emerges 19 th C.  In the “west” they establish compulsory education laws  Women gain right to vote (19 th a.) after WWII - 1918 Wages rising brings about a new social class  Middle class Western Europe and the U.S.

25. REVOLTS, REFORMS AND FAMINE Effects of the Industrial Revolution Huge changes in society from the Industrial Revolution resulted in unrest among the urban poor. Revolts from 1820s – 1840s tore through Europe with 2 goals: political freedom and economic opportunity

26. Pressure in Cities and Factories Overcrowding cities created many problems Disease, scarce housing and unemployment Lower classes suffered the most Government leaders slow to respond to calls for reform for what ever the reason… Mid 19 th c, political pressure from middle class to help the urban poor Poor working conditions, long hours, low pay

33. American Revolution First place Enlightenment principles were applied on a large scale Effects of the American Rev Gave encouragement to others that a group of colonies could overthrow their mother country Some say that the AR was not revolutionary at all since elites were still in power after But the opposite can also be argued that even with slavery, the US was still the most democratic government in the world
