The Industrial Revolution marked a pivotal shift in industrial technology, drastically transforming manufacturing. It was not merely an industry change but also introduced significant social, economic, and political innovations. Key developments included the emergence of the steam engine by James Watt in 1769, which revolutionized iron production and transportation. This period also saw the rise of new industries such as textiles, chemicals, and food processing, driven by population growth and urbanization.

  2. Origin of Industry • Industrial Revolution improved industrial technology and transformed manufacturing • More than just a transformation in industry • New social, economic, and political inventions • Root= industry • Cotton Industry: Home-based manufacturing • Industrial Revolution= population growth • Most important invention…???

  3. The Steam Engine • 1769 by James Watt • Steam engine supplied power far more than the watermills, human, and animal powers

  4. Industries Impacted by the I.R. • Iron • Coal • Transportation • Textiles • Chemicals • Food Processing

  5. Iron • First industry to benefit • Previously the scale of production was small • Process demanded the constant heating and cooling of iron= time consuming and skilled • Steam engine= practical way to keep ovens constantly heated

  6. Coal • Was the source of energy for the steam engines and ovens for iron production • Wood was the previous energy source, but was becoming scarce • Wood was used for building ships, buildings, furniture, and heat Transportation Important for diffusing the I.R. Canals, railroads, • Enabled factories to bring in heavy raw materials and ship out finished goods

  7. Textiles • Transportation from a spread out cotton industry to a concentrated factory system • Buildings resembled large watermills= mills • New invention of machines • Machines to untangle cotton prior to spinning Chemicals An industry to bleach and dye cloth Food Processing Essential to feed factory workers no longer living on farms

  8. Industrial Regions • Europe • North America • East Asia

  9. Europe’s Industrial Areas • United Kingdom • Rhine-Ruhr Valley • Mid-Rhine • Po Basin • North eastern Spain • Moscow St. Petersburg Volga Urals Kuznetsk Donetsk Silesia

  10. North America’s Industrial Areas • New England • Middle Atlantic • Mohawk Valley • Pittsburgh-Lake Erie • Western Great Lakes • Southern California • Southeastern Ontario

  11. East Asia’s Industrial Areas • Japan • China

  12. What do you see in regards to the region with the most industrial areas, the region with the least, and that in the middle? • Europe= 12 • North America= 7 • East Asia= 2
