The Beginnings of
Industrialization
The Industrial Revolution starts in England
and soon spreads to other countries.

Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain
The Beginnings of Industrialization
New Ways of Working
• Industrial Revolution—greatly increases output of
machine-made goods
• Revolution begins in England in the middle 1700s
SECTION
1
The Agricultural Revolution Paves the Way
• Enclosures—large farm fields enclosed by fences
or hedges
• Wealthy landowners buy, enclose land once owned
by village farmers
• Enclosures allow experimentation with new
agricultural methods
Continued . . .

Rotating Crops
• Crop rotation—switching crops each year to
avoid depleting the soil
• Livestock breeders allow only the best to breed,
improve food supply
continued Industrialization Begins in Britan

Why the Industrial Revolution Began in
England
• Industrialization—move to machine production of
goods

harbors
• Expanding economy in Britain encourages
investment

labor, capital

Changes in the Textile Industry
• Weavers work faster with flying shuttles and
spinning jennies
• Water frame uses water power to drive spinning
wheels
• Power loom, spinning mule speed up production,
improve quality
• Factories—buildings that contain machinery for
manufacturing
• Cotton gin boosts American cotton production to
meet British demand

Factory Work
• Factories pay more than farms, spur demand for
more expensive goods

Industrial Cities Rise
• Urbanization—city-building and movement of
people to cities
• Growing population provides work force, market
for factory goods

continued Industrialization Changes Life
Living Conditions
• Sickness widespread; epidemics, like cholera, sweep
urban slums

codes

Long-Term Effects
• Improved living and working conditions still evident
today

improvements
NEXT
The Mills of Manchester
Manchester and the Industrial Revolution
• Manchester has labor, water power, nearby port
at Liverpool
• Poor live and work in unhealthy, even dangerous,
environment
• Business owners make profits by risking their
own money on factories
• Eventually, working class sees its standard of
living rise some
