  2. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Agricultural Revolution: • Wealthy bought more land  experimentation • Results: • Tried new agricultural methods • Small farmers forced to become tenant farmers or give up farming & move to cities • Ex: Jethro Tull invented seed drill Jethro Tull’s Seed Drill

  3. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Crop Rotation: • Improved medieval 3-field system • Ex: • Year 1: Wheat (exhausted soil nutrients) • Year 2: Root crop like turnips (restore nutrients) • Year 3: Barley • Year 4: Clover

  4. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Why Britain?: • Natural Resources: • Water power & coal – fuel machines • Iron ore – construct machines, tools, buildings • Rivers – inland transportation • Harbors – merchant ships set sail

  5. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Why Britain?: • Economic Expansion: • Investment in new inventions • Highly developed banking system • Growing trade, economic prosperity, climate of progress  increased demand for goods

  6. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Why Britain?: • Political Stability: • No wars on British soil • Positive attitude • Laws to encourage business • Britain had factors of production (land, labor, and capital)

  7. Industrialization in GermanyContributing Factors: Natural Resources: • Obstacle = political disunity • Coal-rich Ruhr Valley • Led to importation of British equipment, engineers • Sent children to England to learn industrial management

  9. Industrialization in JapanContributing Factors • Meiji Reform: • Meiji = “enlightened rule” • Mutsuhito – symbolized pride & nationalism • Took over gov’t after Tokugawa shogun stepped down

  10. Industrialization in EnglandProcess: • Transportation: • James Watt – improved steam engine • Robert Fulton – put steam engine in steamboat • England – canals built – slashed cost of transporting goods • Improved roads where wagons would not sink when it rained • Steam-powered locomotives

  11. Industrialization in EnglandProcess: • Rise of Cities: • Growth of factory system  city building and people shift toward cities (urbanization) • Built near sources of energy (coal & water) • London most important

  12. Industrialization in EnglandProcess: • Living & Working Conditions: • No development plans, sanitary & building codes • Lacked housing, education • Sickness widespread • Avg. worker = 14 hrs/day, 6 days/wk • Factories not clean or safe – no aid in case of injury • Coal mines most dangerous – children and women employed here b/c they were cheap
