Industrial Revolution Why do we consider the Industrial Revolution important? • Effects: Europe shifted from farm- and handicrafts-based economy, to an economy based on machines in factories
Industrial Revolution Five key factors set it up 1. Lots of food 2. Lots of people 3. Ready supply of money (capital) 4. Abundant natural resources 5. Markets to sell to
Industrial Revolution Lots of food 1. Farming practices changed; good weather helped. There was enough food to go around, a dramatic increase in the food supply.
Industrial Revolution Lots of people 2. With ample food supplies, population expanded; this provided a ready supply of labor, of workers, to staff the factories
Industrial Revolution Lots of money 3. Entrepreneurs sought to expand their fortunes, by investing. People in search of profits made the factories, pushed the inventions, drove the progress • capital, entrepreneurs
Industrial Revolution Natural resources 4. Consider Britain: Rivers provided water power and transportation. Coal and iron ore meant steel, and railroads – use of steam engine was possible
Industrial Revolution Ready markets to sell to 5. Britain’s colonies were a ready outlet for goods; British merchant ships could transport. Trade, especially in cotton goods, pushed the development of machines and transportation
