- 2. Industrial Revolution Greatly increased output of machine-made goods that began in England in the middle 1700s Began in England (Mid 1700s)
- 3. Why England? England had factors of production needed in order to industrialize, such as: i. Land- very fertile from new farming methods developed during Agricultural Revolution A bundance of natural resources Migration of people from rural to urban centers (country city) ii. Labor- surplus of food and people More food + more balanced diets = more/healthier people iii. Capital- Overseas expansion helps generate stronger banking and vast trading
- 4. Three Most Important Industries affected by the Industrial Revolution 1. Agriculture - new farming methods I. Enclosed farming - combines land into larger fields enclosed by fences or hedges. This resulted in: II. Landowners trying new agriculture methods developed scientifically (ex. Jethro Tull Seed Drill) III. Large landowners take over small landowners to create super farms IV.Crop rotation - rotation of crops annually to prevent exhaustion of soil
- 5. Three Most Important Industries affected by the Industrial Revolution (continued) F actory Production- influx of machine-made goods produced in factories. This brings about: Higher employment levels Migration of people to cities from rural areas More working + more efficient production = cheaper products James Hargreave’s Spinning Jenny allows workers to spin 8 threads at a time instead of 1
- 6. Three Most Important Industries affected by the Industrial Revolution (continued) 3. Improvements in Transportation- Inventions and improvements to existing waterways/roads increased the use of transportation Robert Fulton uses Steam Engine to build Steamboat (faster water transportation) Development of first locomotives and railroad lines Introduction or turnpikes in England
- 7. Result **All these factors boosted the economy and created more jobs, allowed for cheaper transportation of raw materials, and produced cheaper/more efficient products**
