Historical Significance of the Industrial Revolution • An ancient Greek or Roman would have been just as comfortable in Europe in 1700 because daily life was not much different – agriculture and technology were not much changed in 2000+ years • The Industrial Revolution changed human life drastically • More was created in the last 250+ years than in the previous 2500+ years of known human history
What was the Industrial Revolution? • The Industrial Revolution was a fundamental change in the way goods were produced, from human labor to machines • The more efficient means of production and subsequent higher levels of production triggered far-reaching changes to industrialized societies
The Industrial Revolution Transportation improved Ships ○ Wooden ships → Iron ships → Steel ships ○ Wind-powered sails → Steam-powered boilers Trains Automobiles Communication improved Telegraph Telephone Radio
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” Spinning machine Need to speed up weaving Power loom created
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” Power loom Increased demand for raw cotton Invention of the cotton gin
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” Cotton gin Demands for stronger iron Improvements in iron smelting and the development of steel (Bessemer process)
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” As more steampowered machines were built, factories needed more coal to create this steam Mining methods improved to meet the demand for more coal • The process of inventing never ends • One invention inevitably leads to improvements upon it and to more inventions
• Industrial – Having to do with industry, business or manufacturing • Revolution – a huge change or a change in the way things are done • Industrial Revolution – a change from making things using human and animal labor to making goods using machine labor.
• Vertical Integration – The merger of companies at different levels of production for a single product.

The Spinning Mule • The spinning mule used water power to spin the thread, which was much faster than doing it by hand. • More cloth could now be made.
The Power Mule
The power loom • The power loom used water power to weave cloth • People could make a lot of cloth quickly.

Agriculture • Advances in agriculture were also made. • The invention of the seed drill allowed farmers to plant many more seeds much more quickly. • The reaper allowed farmers to harvest their crops more efficiently. • More crops could now be grown feeding an increasing population.
The seed drill
The reaper • The reaper was used to cut down the harvest. It would take a long time to do it by hand. Individuals were not always paid very well for their labor either.

Belief that capitalism is designed to create poverty and poor working conditions because of its end goal of earning maximum profits for investors (individuals) (Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels) Motto: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. ” Theorized to be the end-result of economic progression. Socialism – government owns most of the means of production and operates it for public benefit. (Robert Owen) Belief that if the government (“the people”) owns the means of production, these factories and industries will function in the public (as opposed to private) interest Motto: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution. ” Theorized to be an essential step before achieving communism.

How did industrialization change the way of life? Size ↑ Changes brought by industrialization Class Tensions Cities Factories Large gaps between the rich and the poor Living Conditions No safety codes Sickness Working Conditions Long hours, Little pay The rise of the middle class Dangerous conditions
