How Successful Were The Russian Governments In Promoting Economic Change And Modernisation Between 1881 and 1904? When Alexander III came into power, he made sure that industrialization was at the forefront of his plans. So under Vyshnedgradsky and Witte, various measures were imposed to help kick start industrialization, which led to significant economic change The improved transport system, which resulted from government investment in infrastructure like the railways, helped to vastly improve Russia’s economic situation. This is evident through the clear positive correlation between railway improvements and increases in Russia’s industrial output. The length of railway tracks in Russia increased form 31219 miles in 1891 to 58392 miles by 1904.
This dramatic increase in production can be seen in both documents 1 and 2. Document one is a chart of data compiled by British colonial authorities in India from 1884 - 1914, making it very trustworthy in its accuracy and truthfulness. The chart shows a huge increase in machine-spun thread and cloth, coinciding with a dramatic decrease in hand-spun thread and a slowing of the production of hand-woven cloth. This shows how industry made production easier and more efficient in India compared to old-fashioned hand-made textiles. Document 2 is also a chart showing cotton yarn production in the same years as document 1, but in Japan.
According to the fire marshal, this mess caused the fire to grow very quickly that they some workers had no time to escape. Also, the doors were locked to prevent the workers from stealing and leaving early. In my opinion, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory lacked of safety and cleaning environment. This was hundreds years ago, that's why it lacked of firefighting equipment because back in the day, things were different. Thus, all factories lacked of safety conditions.
Tenement houses within these cities became incredibly crowded and crammed along narrow paths or streets. Whole families were living in attics, cellars, or single rooms, with one house holding up to 60 people in multiple rooms. Sanitation was not common in a lot of cities even making clean water for the rich a luxury. Sewers ran down streets, wide-open, carrying water fouled with industrial and human waste. Tuberculosis, typhoid and cholera were diseases that developed in many cities killing thousands.
He argues that children who are living in these cities need the most help, racism is the cause of the in equality in schools, and more funding could be extremely beneficial to the students, schools, and communities but the media and politicians will not allow it. His discoveries are shocking but true. The first city Kozol tells the reader about is East St. Louis. The inner city is filthy and lies on a flood plain. Major companies built factories here and drain their waste into the city causing the children who live here to be at risk for many illnesses.
Development of Health Care Services Part One: Identify and give reasons for the developments in public health and health care provision in England during the 1800s to present day. Identify the changing demographic trends and social attitudes to the health during this period. Analyse the effect of these changes on the provision of public health amenities and health care. 1800's - Edwin Chadwick and his report into Sanitary Conditions In the early 19th Century due to the industrial revolution there was a large strain on all towns and cities. Urbanisation occurred due to better agricultural machinery, producing more food in rural areas, this accounted for a thriving population, however employment opportunities outnumbered population forcing people to migrate from rural areas to urban cities seeking employment from industrial factories (Jenkins 2002).
This is due to the peculiar role of Great Britain. Britain enjoyed a rising standard of living during the eighteenth century, in result of good harvests, booming overseas trade, and a growing population. Britain was the world’s leading exporter of clocks, tools, hardware, guns, and other craft goods. Its metal and mining industries employed engineers willing to experiment with different new ideas. It had the largest merchant marine and produced more ships, navigation instruments, and naval supplies than other countries.
The Impact of the Industrial Revolution on Our Environment The Industrial Revolution had a large, negative impact on the environment. Before the Industrial Revolution most peppered moths in Britain were white, however, the amount of coal and pollutants produced during the Revolution changed the color of the moths' environment. Soon, the darker moths were more well camouflaged, and the white moths all but died out. Peppered moths were not the only creatures impacted by the Industrial Revolution, humans and domesticated animals were also effected. “Industrial Britain was hit by an outbreak of cholera in 1831-32, 1848-49, 1854 and 1867.” ("Diseases in industrial cities in the Industrial Revolution" 1).
We had a stable political system which was a huge advantage, because in other countries they still had monarchy and if one person disagreed with the king the he would be beheaded. We have had a government since the 17th century with Oliver Cromwell and the civil war. Britain was the first nation in the world to industrialise, with the invention of a steam engine. The invention of the steam engine led to the invention of the train and factories. This meant faster transport and with the invention of the factories economic growth as well.
This was important for emerging industrial centers. With the increase in amount of trade amongst one another, a closer bond was formed. Roads and railroad production was increasing rapidly during the early 19th Century. Roads were deteriorated to a great extent by various wars and other violent events. At this point in time, roads got improved and underwent repair on a larger extent; the production of railways skyrocketed in the German States.
