    Causes Industrial Revolution

    Uploaded by

    Jessy Bel
    The key causes of the Industrial Revolution included population growth due to higher birth rates and lower death rates, agricultural advances that increased food production, global trade and colonialism that drove demand for goods, and inventors developing new technologies like the steam engine. Conditions in Britain also contributed as feudalism had ended, reducing restrictions on change, and social values shifted to prioritize the pursuit of wealth.

    Causes of

    Industrial
    Revolution

    -Luthgarde Pearl B. Taeza


    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    1. Population Growth
    The end of Feudalism and the
    English civil war played a role in
    the population growth.

    Survivors of various plagues


    and diseases began to bear more
    children

    Early marriages among young


    couples lead to higher birth rate

      Industrial and
    1700 manufacturing
    1800
    economy
    Europe: required
    100/120 mil more people to
    190 mil
    labor at this manufacture
    England 6 mil (1750) 10 mil
    (Factory Act of 1833)
    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    1. Agricultural
    2. Population Growth
    Revolution

    The direct result of the young population was large


    labor workforce that was made available throughout Britain
    and Europe.  People also began to migrate in large numbers
    to cities and began to develop new methods of labor like the
    factory systems.
    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    3. Trade
    2. Agricultural
    and Inventiveness
    Revolution
    New products were shipped into Europe from
    the New World as well as development of
    colonial workforce (slaves) for intense labor
    conditions (sugar and cotton production)

    The increase of cattle industry and cattle


    production led to more alternative foods .
    Parliament passed the enclosure movement
    =Permitted lands that had been held in common by
    tenant farmers to be enclosed into large, private
    farms worked by a much smaller labor force.
    Result:
    dispossessed peasants moved to the city in the hopes of finding
    work in the newly developed factories
    food production more efficient and less labor-intensive
    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    3. Trade and Inventiveness
    Inventions The
    anddriving force behind all of this development
    Inventors
    was demand. The increased demand for goods lead
    to increased stresses for more production.
    This was a contributing factor in slavery for cash crop
    production as well as the technological invocations such
    as the assembly line, replaceable parts and factory style
    intense labor system that developed in the cities

    The development of the “Putting out system” was


    in full swing.

    In general, Europe was fascinated by


    technology and driven largely by the
    Enlightenment principles to understand
    the world and solve social problems
    through technology and scientific
    methods.
    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    3. Trade
    4. Conditions
    and Inventiveness
    in Britain & continental Europe
    Inventions and Inventors

    Steam engine: James Watt

    Spinning Jenny: James Hargreaves

    Textile manufacturing: Richard Awkright

    Railways: George Stephenson


    Causes of Industrial Revolution
    4. Conditions in Britain & continental Europe
    In Europe, feudalism was ended
    There was no large privileged "feudal" class to hold
    back change or population movements

    Globalization of the European Economy


    European trade and manufacture stretched to
    every continent except Antarctica
    More capital was accumulated from trade
    Mercantilism

    Population growth =larger workforce

    Social Values
    The diminished role of the aristocracy in English government and
    society allowed for a steady shift in values; the values of the
    mercantile and capitalist classes slowly became the norm—the most
    important of these values was the pursuit of wealth.
