After the Civil War, rapid industrial growth occurred in the United States. Many changes took place in America between 1860 and 1900, and the country went through a radical transformation where it changed from a nation of farmers to a power industrial center. There are many factors that worked together that made this industrial growth possible such as new technology and inventions which led to new power sources and factory efficiency, cheap and plentiful labor and improved transportation, entrepreneurs, and a cooperative government. Many of the inventions of the Industrial Boom required much more power than humans and animals could provide. The charts in Document 5 on American Industrial and Agricultural Power Sources show that in 1850, 52%
The Early Industrial Revolution, 1760-1851 CHAPTER 22-THE EARLY INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, 1760-1851 I. Causes of the Industrial Revolution A. Population Growth 1. In the 18th century, the population grew in Europe (mostly in England and Wales) because there were more reliable food supplies, earlier marriage, high birthrates, and more widespread resistance to disease. 2.
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 can be demonstrated through the examination of urbanization, the rise of new classes, theories (by Smith, Malthus and Ricardo), and factory conditions. The industrial revolution began with tinkers introducing new inventions that were going to dramatically improve the way people produced goods. These new machines (such as the water frames, cotton gins, power looks, and the spinning jenny) enabled different industries (like the Textile industry to produce products in mass quantities. In consequence, these new methods of production made other approaches such as the cottage industry obsolete. These new techniques may have allowed for ample production of goods and prices of goods to drop, ultimately increasing consumerism; inevitably though, it had a destructive effect on the old-fashioned methods of production.
The Industrial Revolution was one of the most significant events that led to advances in technology. It began in England in the early 1700s and traveled to America in the mid 1700s.The industrial revolution which began in England in the late 1700s was caused by many factors. This revolution changed society in many ways. Some of these changes were positive while others were negative. Positive effects of the Industrial Revolution on European society was globalized economy, population growth, and the results of the use of machinery evolved.
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, however, new elements were introduced that began to transform the economic foundation of Western Civilization: a revival of trade, considerable expansion in the circulation of money, the emergence of specialized craftspeople and artisans, and the growth and development of towns. The revival of commercial activity was a gradual process. During the chaotic conditions of the Early Middle Ages, large-scale trade had declined in Western Europe except for Byzantine contacts with Italy and Jewish traders who moved back and forth between the Muslim and Christian worlds. By the end of the tenth century, however, people with both the skills and the products for commercial activity were emerging in Europe. Venice sent wine, grain, and timber to Constantinople in exchange for silk cloth, which was then peddled to other communities.
It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills. There are several reasons why the Industrial revolution started in the first place. One reason being that there was widespread resistance to disease in Europe as well as a reliable food supply, allowing for steady population growth, which in return created more demand for products, which in turn resulted in new ways of producing products more efficiently in response to demand. As a result of Industrialization, a new economic philosophy arose. Capitalism called for the lack of government intervention in the economy.
Progression from man-made spearheads to global networks, humans have actively utilized technology to better their quality of life. Technology is rapidly and consistently re-creating the way humans live their lives. From how they eat, work and travel to how they have fun, technology has transitioned to be an important part of today’s life. Today, most people live to be older, including a large number of those being from third world countries. The advancement of agricultural techniques and tools has made it easier for the world to produce more goods with less effort at lower costs.
The industrial revolution has helped the nation and economy grown so much over the time but we know, nothing is perfect. With large factories come environmental hazards and with large buildings come migration issues for all animals. Over the years, we have learned that maybe we took too much too fast. The importance of the industrial revolution is endless. But looking back on it today, the world seems to be at a much quicker less wasteful speed.
These new, larger farms would pool the labour and resources and therefore operate more efficiently. In addition state provided tractors and fertilises would modernise production, again making the opponents more efficient. Stalin’s aim to modernise Russia with the idea of collectivisation would be staged in three parts; economic, political and ideological. I believe that the policy of collectivisation was set up to achieve its objectives however, if historians look at the failures alongside the aims, many were reversed and the outcome was the opposite of what was expected. There were economic factors that led to collectivisation.
