The industrial revolution began in Britain between 1760 and 1840 and was driven by major technological inventions. Key inventions included John Kay's flying shuttle for weaving cloth in 1733, James Hargreaves' spinning jenny and James Watt's steam engine in the 1760s, and Edmund Cartwright's water loom in 1785. These inventions helped mechanize manufacturing processes and allowed factories to produce goods faster and cheaper than the previous cottage industry system. Britain was well-suited for the industrial revolution due to its natural resources like coal and iron, river systems for water power, and strong government and trade networks that allowed investment in new technologies.

3. Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution was a
period from 1760 to 1840, when
major changes in agriculture,
manufacturing, mining, and
transportation were happening in
Britain.
These changes subsequently spread
throughout Europe, North America,
and eventually the world.

4. Old system
In 1700, manufacturing
system was hand made,
which called cottage
industry was dominated.
At that time merchants
dropped off raw
materials at people’s
homes and picked up
finished products later.

5. Initial INVENTIONS
Cloth machines’
inventions was the
base of industrial
revelation.
In 1733, John Kay
invented “Flying
Shuttle”, which was
used to weave cloth.

6. Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)
In1760, James
Hargreaves
invented
“Spinning Jenny”,
which was used
for multiple
threads to be
woven together.

7. Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)
In 1763, James
Watt invented
“Steam Engine”,
which impacted
the most on
cloth industry
that time.

8. Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)
In 1769, Richard
Arkwright
invented “Water
Frame”, which
used water to
power the spinning
frame.

9. Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)
In 1785,
Edmund
Cartwright
invented “Water
Loom”, which
was first
machine that
could weave
cloth.

10. Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)
In 1793, Eli
Whitney
invented “Cotton
Gin” machine,
which was used
to separate
cotton seeds
from the cotton.

11. Why industrial revolution started in Britain
In the time period 1715-1850, there
were many natural resources available in
Britain, including large amount of coal
and iron reservoirs.
Geographical advantages include a river
system for water power, many resources
and harbors for easy trade.
A strong, stable government allowed a
strong, stable economy to develop which
resulted in extra money to invest.

12. Why industrial revolution started in Britain
Colonial empire provided much needed
raw materials and markets.
After that, revolution spread to
continental Europe, United States of
America, and Japan between 1850 and
1914.

13. Changes Brought by the Industrial Revolution
Invention of the steam engine in 1763 by
James Watt shifted labor from humans and
animals to machines.
Inventions continue to make life,
manufacturing, and farming easier and better.
Continuous reinvestment of profits fueled even
greater growth.
Inventions in one area often led to inventions
in others.
Transportation and communication systems
have greatly enhanced.
