During the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain experienced increased population, trade and an expanded economy. In the 1850’s, population reached a staggering 266 million. Because there were so many people, and because Britain was making and exporting so many goods, new factories opened up. And because of this, many new jobs became available. This caused industrial capitalism. Industrial capitalism is an economic system that is based on industrial production. Because so many people were now in Britain, it became dense and urban. This caused many new factories to open up, which caused the production of all exports to increase, which led to industrial capitalism to grow in Great Britain.…
The industrial and economic developments of the Industrial Revolution brought significant social changes. Industrialization resulted in an increase in population and the phenomenon of urbanization, as a growing number of people moved to urban centers in search of employment. Industrialization changed society from agrarian to mechanical, which means the dominant part of economical employments moved to bigger urban areas. This made a few issues for the common laborers. Living conditions amid the early periods of industrialization were poor.…
Through-out the period of 1700 to 1900, the Industrial Revolution created changes and kept continuities within long-distance migration. Continuities such as trade overseas still occurred overseas, which also continued the spread of diseases, religions, ideas, and cultures. Also the demand of food and material wealth is a requirement to the increasing population, which also continued. The Industrial Revolution created changes in the world. New railroads created lead to an increase and growth in colonies, which then created a massive growth in population.…

The Industrial revolution was a change that was much needed and it had many factors that helped to bring it about. One cause of the Industrial revolution was growing population by the mid-1800s the population of Europe and North America was on a high rise. The rapidly growing cities of the industrial world attracted people of all social classes. Another cause of the Industrial revolution was the growing demand for textiles and other mass-produced goods. During the mid 1800s Europe and North American were slacking in products being made. Growing demands for textiles caused a need for mass production therefore the Industrial revolution opened the doors to create more textiles at a faster rate using machinery and mass production. Lastly improved technology was a cause for the industrial revolution. Improved technology lead the way to better machinery and better mass production.…
While expansion gave people ways to settle in new towns, it also drew a steady stream of workers to the city and its factories. With more people to work, the cities only got larger and needed more housing space for the extra residents; welcome the birth of the mega-city and the suburbs. The incoming people often had their entire families work in the factories, even children worked, doing jobs that larger individuals could not. Consequently a slew of civil and ethical questions followed, which would be danced around for the next century before coming to a close. While factories did usher the largest economic growth in history, poor, cramped, and dirty conditions in factories and cities brought on the rise of the first work unions and many new laws protecting workers. Another new social aspect that came from the Industrial Revolution was the middle class. Factory owners hired educated individuals to oversee the workflow, giving education a higher value and allowing common people to move into higher social status. The Industrial Revolution also saw a massive an increase in population; in the 250 year period the population grew from only one billion people to over six billion in the late 1900s…
The rapid increase of urbanization was partly due to the number of immigrants that flooded America. People from rural America also migrated to the cities during this period. They gave up farms to move to cities, hoping to make a better life. Most of all, the cities owed most of their population growth to the expansion of industry. As industry kept flourishing, more workers were needed. These jobs provided long and hard work for low wages to desperate immigrants. Conditions were horrible in the industry world and corrupt political officials were the only people who benefited, which was what separated the rich from the poor entirely in American society.…
The Industrial Revolution is generally considered as a transition process from handcrafted manufacturing to factory production. Although scientists do not have a single view on the start of this movement, the “invention” theory seems to be the most powerful in explaining the causes of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.…
3. Migration into the industrializing areas created the rapid urbanization within existing cities. Also migration westward spread industrialization into new parts of the country. Compared to in 1790 when one in every thirty people lived in cities by 1840 one in twelve did.…
Question 1) What was the industrial revolution? When did it occur? How did industrialisation lead to the creation of the design profession? How was the industrial manufacturing of making products new and what role did the designer play in creating new products?…
In the United States in 1860, the county and people mainly depended on farming rather than industrializing like other nations such as Great Britain. Not only did they depend of farming but since there were not many cities, most people lived in small towns. It took the U.S. a lot longer to industrialize because at the time it was a lot more profitable to farm since there was plenty of cheap labor from slaves. Before one would know it, the United States was the greatest industrial nation. Cities began to grow rapidly because of many different reasons. From 1860-1900 many factors helped to promote America's huge industrial growth such as the abolishment of slavery, Immigrants, New technology, increase in the production of crops and the freed slaves.…
Industrialisation and urbanisation are two of the many factors that have influenced and contributed to the growth of London’s population from the 17th century to the present day and beyond. Up until the mid 20th century London progressed to further the capital to not only England but also the UK and eventually the empire, where the majority of the world in the 19th century was governed by London.…
From the year 1800 to 1850, the population of England and Wales doubled, going from nine million people to eighteen million. The amount of that population who just lived in cities rose from ten percent of the population to fifty percent of the population. While the jump of the population cannot be associated just to industrialization - improvements in health care, sanitation and public health kept people alive longer, and a decrease in infant mortality had more people living past childhood - industrialization added to the impact.…
The question as to why the Industrial Revolution occurred in Western Europe and not anywhere else in the world like China is indeed a very intriguing matter. There is no doubt that the Industrial Revolution, an accelerated technological innovation did indeed happen as the same reason as all technological innovations which is to reduce labour costs. However, to posit that that is the only reason that the Industrial Revolution occurred could be huge blunder. Hence,…
