19. By the mid 1800s, England was already undergoing its Industrial Revolution. France, however, had a late start due to the Napoleonic wars. Paris’s population began to grow at a rate of 86 percent while London’s population increased at a rate of 136 percent. In France, the poor were worse than they had ever been while in England, there were more opportunities…
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.…
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 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.…
in the industrial revolution, cities grew more and more and attracted more workers. The cities…
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…
With greater technology, factories were able to produce goods at a much faster pace. To produce goods faster, there was a requirement for a larger number of workers. The workers had to live relatively close to the factories to go to work every day. Because of this, cities began to grow in…
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.…
The industrial revolution introduced a new way for people to live that did not include farming or trade. People moved to the cities because job opportunities were plentiful. Social life in the burgeoning cities also provided young people with more opportunities for finding a partner and starting a family. Higher wages and better life expectancy resulted from the increased diversity of people working together to solve problems and help each other out. The population growth clearly reflected this, as it managed to increase the population due to the industrial revolution by 1 billion people in just 125 years, a feat that took almost 3.6 million years to do up until that…
2. Immigration: European immigration contributed little to the enormous population growth because of the wars in Europe in the early 19th century, but the numbers soon increased by around 80,000 by 1837. This was greatly due to lowered transportation costs and increased economic opportunities.…
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.…
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,…
