1  \nSlide 2  \nSlide 3  \nHistorical Significance of the Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 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  \n􀂀 The Industrial Revolution changed human life drastically  \n􀂀 More was created in the last 250+ years than in the previous 2500+ years of known human history  \nSlide 4  \nSlide 5  \nSlide 6  \nThe Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 Machines were invented which replaced human labor  \n􀂀 New energy sources were developed to power the new machinery – water, steam, electricity, oil (gas, kerosene)  \n􀁹 Some historians place advances in atomic, solar, and wind energy at the later stages of the Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 Increased use of metals and minerals  \n􀁹 Aluminum, coal, copper, iron, etc.  \nThe Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 Transportation improved  \n􀁹 Ships  \n○ Wooden ships → Iron ships → Steel ships  \n○ Wind-powered sails → Steam-powered boilers  \n􀁹 Trains  \n􀁹 Automobiles  \n􀂀 Communication improved  \n􀁹 Telegraph  \n􀁹 Telephone  \n􀁹 Radio  \nDevelopments  \n􀂀 Mass production of goods  \n􀁹 Increased numbers of goods  \n􀁹 Increased diversity of goods produced  \n􀂀 Development of factory system of production  \n􀂀 Rural-to-urban migration  \n􀁹 People left farms to work in cities  \n􀂀 Development of capitalism  \n􀁹 Financial capital for continued industrial growth  \n􀂀 Development and growth of new socio-economic classes  \n􀁹 Working class, bourgeoisie, and wealthy industrial class  \n􀂀 Commitment to research and development  \n􀁹 Investments in new technologies  \n􀁹 Industrial and governmental interest in promoting invention, the sciences, and overall industrial growth  \nSlide 7  \nSlide 8  \nSlide 9  \nBackground of the Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 Commercial Revolution  \n􀁹 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries  \n􀁹 Europeans expanded their power worldwide  \n􀁹 Increased geographic knowledge  \n􀁹 Colonies in the Americas and Asia  \n􀁹 Increased trade and commerce  \n􀁹 Guild system could not meet the demands of increasing numbers goods  \nBackground of the Industrial Revolution  \n􀂀 Scientific Revolution  \n􀁹 17th and 18th centuries  \n􀁹 Discoveries of Boyle, Lavoisier, Newton, etc.  \n􀂀 Intellectual Revolution  \n􀁹 17th and 18th centuries  \n􀁹 Writings of Locke, Voltaire, etc.  \n􀂀 Atmosphere of discovery and free intellectual inquiry  \n􀁹 Greater knowledge of the world  \n􀁹 Weakened superstition and tradition  \n􀁹 Encouraged learning and the search for better and newer ways of doing things  \nDevelopment of the Domestic System of Production  \n􀂀 Domestic system developed in England  \n􀂀 Late 1600s-late 1800s  \n􀂀 Domestic system of production – “putting out”system  \n􀁹 Businesspeople delivered raw materials to workers’homes  \n􀁹 Workers manufactured goods from these raw materials in their homes (typically articles of clothing)  \n􀁹 Businesspeople picked up finished goods and paid workers wages based on number of items  \n􀂀 Domestic system could not keep up with demand  \nSlide 10  \nSlide 11  \nSlide 12  \nFactory System  \n􀂀 Developed to replace the domestic system of production  \n􀂀 Faster method of production  \n􀂀 Workers concentrated in a set location  \n􀂀 Production anticipated demand  \n􀁹 For example: Under the domestic system, a woman might select fabric and have a businessperson give it to a home-based worker to make into a dress. Under the factory system, the factory owner bought large lots of popular fabrics and had workers create multiple dresses in common sizes, anticipating that women would buy them.  \nSlide 13  \nSlide 14  \nSlide 15  \nEngland’s Resources: Colonies and Markets  \n􀂀 Wealth from the Commercial Revolution spread beyond the merchant class  \n􀂀 England had more colonies than any other nation  \n􀂀 Its colonies gave England access to enormous markets and vast amounts of raw materials  \n􀂀 Colonies had rich textile industries for centuries  \n􀁹 Many of the natural cloths popular today, such as calico and gingham, were o","cbCaitJVujCGKRjj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitJVujCGKRjj","pdf",589497,15,"English","# Historical Significance of the Industrial Revolution\n## The Industrial Revolution\n## Background of the Industrial Revolution\n## Development of the Domestic System of Production\n## Factory System\n## England’s Resources: Colonies and Markets\n## England’s Resources: Raw Materials\n## England’s Resources: Workers\n## England’s Resources: Merchant Marine\n## England’s Resources: Geography\n## The Textile Industry\n## Development of Steam Engines","[{\"question\":\"What major changes did the Industrial Revolution bring to everyday life and production?\",\"answer\":\"It radically changed human life and created far more goods than earlier centuries.
