Key term/event


Definition (Think - Who, What, When, Where…) and Significance (Why this term matters)

Shipbuilding in India and Southeast Asia 

End of the seventeenth century, shipbuilding grew because of political alliances, but under British officials’ mismanagement of resources and ineffective leadership led to the decline of shipbuilding in India.

Iron Works in India 

Company Rule (time) The British East India Company controlled parts of the Indian subcontinent, and there was a high tariff from the British that led to india’s ability to mine and work with metals decline, mines began to close by British want

Arms Act of 1878 When there was fear of another uprising which led to the British restricting access to minerals and firearm production

Lack of innovation led to…led to lots of mines being abandoned and the mining industry to become extinct

Textile Production in India and Egypt 

The first states to become involved in textile production and trade. British colonization affected the textile production in India because in India, the industry of textile was successful, but it undermined the British textile mills, so the British government was pressured by the British mill owners to add a tax on textiles made at more that 80 mills. Egypt’s textile was difficult because they were not able to match the production of Europe, they usually sent carpets, silks, and other textiles, but Europe textile production made Egypt’s textile production decline

Muhammad Ali’s development of a cotton textile industry in Egypt

Used money from cotton for government to make factories helped egypt profit


5.3| Industrial Revolution Begins 

Objective

Key Developments

Explain how environmental factors contributed to industrialization from 1750 - 1900. 

Define Industrialization Industrialization is when there is an increase in production using machines

List the roots of industrialization:

  1.  Columbian exchange

  2.  Agricultural production increased

  3.  Individuals increasing their capital accumulation

  4.  Maritime trading empires rising


List how the industrial revolution impacted society: 

  1.  Increased the world’s population

  2.  Shifted people from rural to city, farm to city

  3.  Production expanded

  4.  Consumption of goods also expanded and reshaped society


Agricultural Improvements 

Define Agricultural Revolution Where before the industrial revolution, crop productivity was increased


What was the impact of crop rotation and the seed drill? Crop rotation and the seed drill effectively placed seeds in good ground to increase the food production


Why were populations growing with industrialization? What did a bigger population mean? Populations grew with industrialization because as there were more food to feed people, it allowed for the threshold for the amount of people that could be supported to increase, there was improved medical care, the mortality rate of infants declined, which allowed for more people to be able to work in different factories and make a market of manufactured goods


Preindustrial Societies

 What was life like for most British families at this time? British families at the time mostly lived in rural areas and grew their own food and made their own clothes. Fabric was usually spun by people at home


Describe the impact of Indian Cotton on Great Britain: Cotton was in high demand, and the demand was not able to keep up in Britain, but imports were. Britain built its own cotton cloth industry to compete with Indian cotton.


Define Cottage Industry. A system where merchants provided raw cotton to women who would then spin the cloth in their homes. People were not paid much at home


What was the impact of this industry on women? Women did not get paid much, but it gave them some independence and the benefit of being near their children


What was the major drawback to cottage industries? The industry was slow and investors wanted a quicker production, which led to developments to make cloth more efficient

Inventor

Description

Impact 

Spinning Jenny 

James Hargreaves 

Allowed weaver to spin multiple threads at once

Reduced time needed to spin yarn and weave cloths

Water Frame

More efficient than one person’s labor

Time reduced to spin yarn and weave cloths, moved textile production to factories instead of the household textile cottage industry

Interchangeable Parts

Eli Whitney 

If one part of a machine broke, then it’d be easily replaced with an identical part

This was method was first used to make firearms, but then moved to make other products too

Assembly Line 

Henry Ford 

A line where parts are put together and made in a moving line

Allowed for goods to be made quicker, was made to make model t cars


Name and define the system that Interchangeable parts led to: Division of labor was the system that followed interchangeable parts, it was where factory owners had workers only focus on one specific type of task

Define Specialization of Labor: Where each worker focused only on a specific task and not everything

Britain’s Industrial Advantages

Summarize WHY the following things were advantages for Great Britain during the time of Industrialization: 

  • RAW MATERIALS: Raw materials were advantages for Great Britain because it was in a good location to trade these materials and export goods,

  • SEAWAYS: Many seaways allowed for easier way to export goods

  • MINERAL RESOURCES:  location had lots of coal deposits that helped support industrialization to power steam engine, coal mining became a major industry

    • IRON PRODUCTION: Iron was used to build big bridges, tall buildings, strong ships

  • RESOURCES FROM THE COLONIES Timber to make ships

  • ABUNDANT RIVERS Britain and the colonies located near networks of rivers that were supported by public funded canals and harbors, allowed for transport of raw materials and finished products to be cheaper

  • STRONG FLEETS Strongest fleets from Europe, they had naval ships for defense, commercial ones to trade, they brought back agricultural products to Britain that would be used to produce finished products for consumers

  • PROTECTIONS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY Government called that there would be legal protection of private property


Growing Population and Urbanization

What two shifts in society took place as agricultural production increased? 

  1.  Food production grew and helped support growing population, and when the production grew efficiently, there was less of a need for more people to work in agriculture

  2.  Enclosure movement caused for people to move to other places to help the growing industry


Define the enclosure movement: when the government closed off common fields to only allow exclusive use for people who paid or purchased the land


What was the effect of the enclosure movement on farmers? Led to farmers owning no land and losing money, lead to them moving to urban areas


5.4| Industrialization Spreads 

Objective

Key Developments

Explain how different modes and locations of production have developed and changed over time. 

What replaced Great Britain’s Cottage industry? The Industrial industry replaced the cottage industry


What three things did nations that were able to industrialize have in common? 

  1. Had capital

  2. Natural resources

  3. Transportation


Spread of Industrialization

France and Germany

Why was the industrial revolution delayed in France (two reasons)? France’s urban centers were not very populated, which limited amount of labor that would support factories, and the French Revolution took the attention and capital of France’s elites


Why was Germany slow to industrialize? Germany was slower to industrialize because it was split into many smaller states


The United States
