Poor Living Conditions (Industrial Revolution)
Crowded, poor sanitation, cheap construction (wood), lack of ventilation and light.
Define Industrial Revolution
Period of rapid manufacturing and industrial development (1750-1900), particularly in Britain.
Significant Developments of the Industrial Revolution
- Factories and textile mills (centralized production). 2. Modern towns and cities (urbanization due to industry). 3. New power sources (steam, coal - driving machinery). 4. Improved transport and communication (facilitating trade and connection).
Life Before 1750 (Britain) vs. Industrial Revolution
Before 1750: Manual agriculture (sunrise to sunset, poor sanitation), slow transport (expensive goods), poor health (lack of hygiene knowledge, high death rate), limited social structure.\nIndustrial Revolution: Mechanized agriculture, factory-based industry, faster transport (railways, canals, cheaper goods), improved health (understanding of hygiene), rise of the middle class.
Reasons for Industrial Revolution in Britain
Agricultural Revolution (new techniques, resources), abundant resources (coal, iron, water), stable government, high capital investment.
Significance of Coal in Britain
Fueled steam engine development (power for mills, railways), reduced coal prices, led to internal combustion engine development.
Other Factors for Industrial Revolution in Britain
- Superior banking system and investment capital (low interest rates, business growth). 2. Intellectual freedom and capitalist spirit (innovation without restriction, profit-driven).
Food Production Before Industrial Revolution
Primarily grazing land, manual labor (planting to harvesting), subsistence farming (family needs), fallow field crop rotation (limited yield).
Enclosure System and Effects
Over 4000 laws privatizing common land into large, enclosed farms. Effects: Loss of common grazing/farmland for small farmers.
Use of Crop Rotation
Four-field system: Rotating different crops to avoid leaving land fallow, maintaining soil nutrients and increasing production.
Impact of Agricultural Changes on Industrial Revolution
Increased food supply -> population growth -> larger workforce for factories -> faster manufacturing.
Factory System
Centralized workplaces with many workers, unskilled labor operating machinery for repetitive tasks, mass production.
