21.1 Industrial Revolution Spreads
LEQ: How did science, technology, and big
business promote industrial growth?
Background:

The Industrial Revolution entered a second
phase by the mid-1800s.
New industrial powers and products emerged.
Giant companies arose due to changes in
business organization. This second phase
transformed Western economies.
Great Britain was the first nation to industrialize.
It tried to protect this head start by making rules
            against exporting inventions.


Nevertheless, a British mechanic opened factories
  in Belgium in 1807, making that country the
             second to industrialize.


By the mid 1800s, other nations in Europe—as well
 as the United States—caught up to Britain in the
               race to industrialize.
Germany, France, and the United States caught
up to Britain quickly.


They benefited from        Europe and the United
having abundant            States also borrowed
supplies of natural        British technology.
resources.


Germany, which united into one nation in 1871,
became Europe’s leading industrial power. The United
States also advanced rapidly after the Civil War.
Centers of
industry were
scattered
across Europe
and the
United States
by 1871.
The world industrialized unevenly.
•   The nations of eastern and southern Europe
    industrialized slowly. They lacked natural
    resources, capital, or ideal political conditions.
•   However, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New
    Zealand all industrialized during the late
    1800s and built thriving economies.
The effects of industrialization were both positive
and negative.

•   People worked very long hours in dangerous factories.
•   But new goods became widely available at low prices.



      Patterns of world        Western powers grew to
      trade changed.           dominate the world.
•Henry Bessemer – a British engineer who
  developed a new process for making steel from iron
  in 1856
                           Henry Bessemer patented
                           his process in 1856, and
William Kelly and
                           steel production soared.
Henry Bessemer
invented a new
process for
making steel.

Because steel was so
cheap and strong, it
became the main material
used to make tools,
bridges, and railroads.
•   dynamo – a machine that is used to generate
    electricity

Innovations in chemistry and electricity changed
how industry operated in the late 1800s.

Edison
interchangeable parts – identical components that could be used in place of
   one another
   in manufacturing
assembly line – production method that breaks down a complex job into a
  series of smaller tasks
   New methods of production improved efficiency
   in factories.

   •   Manufacturers designed products with
       interchangeable parts.
   •   Workers on an assembly line added these parts
       to the product as it moved along a belt through
       the factory.

   As goods were produced more quickly and cheaply,
   their prices decreased.
Orville and Wilbur Wright – American bicycle
 makers who designed and flew an airplane in 1903,
 ushering in the air age

 Transportation was transformed during the
 Industrial Revolution.

 •   Transcontinental railroads linked cities together.
     Automakers such as Nikolaus Otto, Karl Benz,
     Gottlieb Daimler, and Henry Ford changed the way
     people traveled by using gasoline, the international
     combustion engine, and the assembly line.
 •   The internal combustion engine also made sustained
     flight possible. Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the
     first airplane at Kitty Hawk in 1903.
The revolution in communication made the
            world seem smaller.

                  •   Companies became
                      corporations, businesses
                      owned by many
                      stockholders.
Business leaders created monopolies and cartels in
their pursuit of profit.

                               This created a debate
                               between those who
                               saw big business
                               as positive and
                               those who viewed
                               it negatively.
                               Reformers called for
                               laws to break up
                               monopolies and
                               regulate corporations.
LEQ: How did science, technology, and big
business promote industrial growth?
New technology, inventions, power
sources, production methods, and business
practices all led to widespread
industrialization.
