What type of data gives us good evidence to understand direct effects of the Industrial Revolution?

The percentage of agricultural workers in the eighteenth century as compared to today

what was the big advantage of being an industrialized society?

can be more productive than non-industrialized societies (fewer people could produce things in less time), because things could be produced in a cheaper way, this meant more of a profit

what big change made the foundation for industrialization

change in the source of power: the use of fossil fuels instead of manual labor (specifically coal) . fossil fuels were used to power all of the bigger inventions made in this time (ex. transportation, factories, machines)

what were some reasons for Britain's early industrialization?

flat land made of coal so they had access to fossil fuels and places to build factories, large trade networks, didn't rely on farming as much, large population for factory workers, british scientists inventing new technology for production and distribution

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, energy to produce goods came from people, and on occasion, livestock. What new energy source drastically altered systems of production and distribution?

fossil fuels

what is the difference of industrialization and earlier innovations in production and distribution

goods were produced faster and at a cheaper price, less farmers, herders, and artisans, more factory workers, fewer people produced things for themselves and more a mass production scale.

what elements of modern life didn't exist prior to 1750?

grocery stores, food preservation in boxes or cans, trains, factory workers jobs

What happened to exports, labor, and Co2 emissions when states were industrialized?

industrialization helped people create more products in a faster and cheaper way. there were more goods to export because of this. Other countries had to industrialize to compete on the level that the already industrialized states were. There was a decrease in amount of farm workers and increase in amount of factory workers. Co2 emissions grew because factories were using fossil fuels to power their machines ( at first this was slow, but as more states industrialized, it got faster and more rapid)

. Over the course of human history, the way we move goods and people has changed drastically. Which of the following innovations in travel was a result of the Industrial Revolution?

mass transportation

what was happening with the production and distribution of goods prior to 1750

people only produced enough for themselves and their small communities, things were made in homes or workshops, the power sources used were wind, water, animals, or human muscles

what did pre-industrial production and distribution look like?

people produced thing with their hands without the help of machines, people worked to producing things for themselves through farming or harvesting, couldn't work on land that belonged to others, artisans used their skills to produce things that could be traded,

variable impact

something that affects different areas in different ways; it could mean different things depending on the circumstances

1755

the first basic model of a steam engine created by James Watt

What brought about industrialization in Nagasaki?

they wanted to be able to compete with the states around them. They did not join in the first wave, but joined late in the second wave of industrialization. wanted to embrace the change that was happening around them instead of fight it.

The Industrial Revolution led to great changes in human communities. What process occurred as a direct result of the demand for industrial workers and led to new forms of community?

urbanization

how did industrialization change our sense of community?

1. people moved from rural areas to cities in search of factory work 2. large family in one village changed to small family living in city apartment 3.schools emerged to train children to become workers.

Which of the following best describes the Meiji Restoration?

A political upheaval that replaced an anti-industrial government with a pro-industrial one

In many ways, the Industrial Revolution was a revolution in energy. What type of energy was used in mass quantities for the first time during the Industrial Revolution?

Chemical energy

Who created and used the first steam-powered engines, an essential innovation of the Industrial Revolution?

Chinese and Islamic scientists

What was one main reason Japan began industrializing?

Fear of the power of industrialized nations' armies and weapons

What advantages did industrialization give to industrialized countries over unindustrialized ones?

Higher productivity, which led to increased profits, goods, and investment

Which of the following best describes the history of industrialization across the globe?

It started in the 1700s and continues today with varying importance in different parts of the world.

What made the Industrial Revolution different from other periods of change in the production and distribution of goods?

Its focus on raw materials over labor

who invented the steam engine?

James Watt

During the Industrial Revolution, the British ate items like fish from Canada and potatoes. These imports freed British farmers to become factory workers. What enabled the British to import these foods?

Pre-existing networks of trade

Britain was one of the first countries to industrialize. What aspects of its geography made it easier for Britain to industrialize?
