Mozambique Colonization
Colonized by Portugal from the early 1500s to 1975.
Explain the spatial relationship between railroads and urban areas in colonial Mozambique.
Connection of Coastal and Interior Cities
Railroads linked coastal cities to the interior but not to each other.
Built to move resources from the interior to ports for shipping to Portugal for processing into manufactured goods.

Originated in Britain (17th century claimed, 18th century acknowledged).
Shift from cottage industries (home-based production) to mass production.
Driven by new technologies that:
Increased production quantity and variety.
Expanded markets through new transportation methods.
Increased natural resource demands.
Factory system emerged due to:
High equipment costs.
Need for machinery maintenance.
Capital:
Coffee and tea houses for socializing and trade discussions.
Lloyd's coffee house: maritime trade information center.
Bank of England (1694): facilitated trade with stable currency.
Magna Carta: foundational principle that no one is above the law.
Established judicial system provides legal assurances.
Major coalfields within the UK.
Iron ore deposits located across regions such as Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England.
Standardized measurements aided navigation.
Improved exploration safety through accurate distance marking.
Bridgewater Canal (1759): halved coal costs in Manchester.
Rail travel (from 1825): revolutionized material, product, and labor mobility.
Cities like London and Paris became significant industrial hubs due to global connections.
Secondary Hearths of industrial activity in North America, Russia, Ukraine, and East Asia.
Early industrial growth in New England linked to raw material access.
St. Petersburg’s industrial boom included shipbuilding, with East Asia relying on imports for manufacturing.
Alfred Marshall: Industry clustering (agglomeration).
Alfred Weber: Least cost theory focusing on reducing costs in transportation, labor, and agglomeration.
Weber developed a location triangle to minimize production costs by balancing:
Proximity to raw materials.
Labor availability (skilled/unskilled).
Industry clustering effects.
Notable for their contributions to industrial advancement.
Trade flow and export values from various UK cities to Europe during colonial times.
Important trade centers included Glasgow, Liverpool, and Bristol, among others.
Examine the spatial relationship between industrial output and the distribution of coal deposits.
