Industrial Revolution\n© Student Handouts, Inc.\nThe First Industrial Revolution\nClick to edit Master subtitle style\nHistorical Significance of the Industrial Revolution\nAn 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\nThe Industrial Revolution changed human life drastically\nMore was created in the last 250+ years than in the previous 2500+ years of known human history\nWhat was the Industrial Revolution?\nThe Industrial Revolution was a fundamental change in the way goods were produced, from human labor to machines\nThe more efficient means of production and subsequent higher levels of production triggered far-reaching changes to industrialized societies\nThe Industrial Revolution\nMachines were invented which replaced human labor\nNew energy sources were developed to power the new machinery – water, steam, electricity, oil (gas, kerosene)\nSome historians place advances in atomic, solar, and wind energy at the later stages of the Industrial Revolution\nIncreased use of metals and minerals\nAluminum, coal, copper, iron, etc.\nThe Industrial Revolution\nTransportation improved\nShips\nWooden ships → Iron ships → Steel ships\nWind-powered sails → Steam-powered boilers\nTrains\nAutomobiles\nCommunication improved\nTelegraph\nTelephone\nRadio\nDevelopments\nMass production of goods\nIncreased numbers of goods\nIncreased diversity of goods produced\nDevelopment of factory system of production\nRural-to-urban migration\nPeople left farms to work in cities\nDevelopment of capitalism\nFinancial capital for continued industrial growth\nDevelopment and growth of new socio-economic classes\nWorking class, bourgeoisie, and wealthy industrial class\nCommitment to research and development\nInvestments in new technologies\nIndustrial and governmental interest in promoting invention, the sciences, and overall industrial growth\nBackground of the Industrial Revolution\nCommercial Revolution\n15th, 16th, and 17th centuries\nEuropeans expanded their power worldwide\nIncreased geographic knowledge\nColonies in the Americas and Asia\nIncreased trade and commerce\nGuild system could not meet the demands of increasing numbers goods\nBackground of the Industrial Revolution\nScientific Revolution\n17th and 18th centuries\nDiscoveries of Boyle, Lavoisier, Newton, etc.\nIntellectual Revolution\n17th and 18th centuries\nWritings of Locke, Voltaire, etc.\nAtmosphere of discovery and free intellectual inquiry\nGreater knowledge of the world\nWeakened superstition and tradition\nEncouraged learning and the search for better and newer ways of doing things\nDevelopment of the Domestic System of Production\nDomestic system developed in England\nLate 1600s-late 1800s\nDomestic system of production – “putting out” system\nBusinesspeople delivered raw materials to workers’ homes\nWorkers manufactured goods from these raw materials in their homes (typically articles of clothing)\nBusinesspeople picked up finished goods and paid workers wages based on number of items\nDomestic system could not keep up with demand\nFactory System\nDeveloped to replace the domestic system of production\nFaster method of production\nWorkers concentrated in a set location\nProduction anticipated demand\nFor 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.\nClick to edit Master title style\nEngland: Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution\nNo concrete start date for the Industrial Revolution\nMarked by gradual, slow changes\nAfter 1750 – these changes were noticeable first in England\nWhy the Industrial Revolution Started in England\nEngland’s Resources: Capital\nThe Commercial Revolution made many English merchants very wealthy\nThese merchants had the ","cbCaio7wz49WBGSP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio7wz49WBGSP","ppt",5700096,115,"English","# Historical Significance of the Industrial Revolution\n## What was the Industrial Revolution?\n## Developments\n# Background of the Industrial Revolution\n## Commercial Revolution\n## Scientific Revolution\n## Intellectual Revolution\n# Development of Production Systems\n## Domestic System of Production\n## Factory System\n# England: Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution\n## Why the Industrial Revolution Started in England\n## England’s Resources","[{\"question\":\"What changed during the Industrial Revolution in how goods were produced?\",\"answer\":\"Production shifted from human labor to machines, enabling more efficient manufacturing and higher overall output.\"},{\"question\":\"Which new energy sources supported industrial machinery?\",\"answer\":\"New energy sources included water, steam, electricity, and oil (such as gas and kerosene), with some historians also noting later atomic, solar, and wind advances.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the domestic system of production differ from the factory system?\",\"answer\":\"In the domestic system, businesspeople delivered raw materials to workers’ homes and later collected finished goods.
