수업 노트
What Was the Industrial Revolution?
- The Industrial Revolution was a period when production shifted from hand methods to machines, beginning in Great Britain around 1760.
- It spread to continental Europe and the United States by about 1840.
- It involved new chemical manufacturing and iron production, the increasing use of water and steam power, and the rise of the mechanised factory system.
- Output greatly increased, leading to an unprecedented rise in population.
- Historians debate the exact start and end dates, and whether the changes were truly a sudden 'revolution' or more gradual.
Why Britain Industrialised First
- The Agricultural Revolution increased food production, which freed up labour and ensured food surpluses for a growing population.
- Britain had abundant natural resources, including coal, iron and water power.
- An extensive network of ports, rivers, canals and roads allowed efficient transport of goods.
- Political stability and a legal system favourable to business encouraged investment and enterprise.
- Access to financial capital and a supply of skilled managers and entrepreneurs supported industrial growth.
- By the mid-18th century, Britain was the leading commercial nation, with GDP per capita well above the world average.
Key Inventions in Textiles
- The spinning jenny and water frame mechanised cotton spinning, first powered by water and later by steam.
- Mechanised cotton spinning increased output per worker by a factor of around 500.
- The power loom increased weaving output by a factor of 40.
- The cotton gin increased the productivity of removing seeds from cotton by a factor of 50.
- The textile industry was the first to use modern production methods and became dominant in employment, output and capital invested.
Coal, Iron and Steam Power
- Coal was essential as a fuel for steam engines and for smelting iron.
- Iron production grew rapidly after 1800, aided by new processes such as hot blast smelting.
- James Watt's steam engine (improved in the 1760s–70s) provided a powerful and flexible source of power for factories and mines.
- Steam power allowed factories to be built away from rivers, leading to the growth of industrial towns.
- By the 1830s, steam power and iron production were growing at high rates.
Canals and Railways
- Canals were built in the 18th century to transport coal, iron and goods cheaply across Britain.
- Railways developed from the early 19th century, with locomotives and steamships adopted increasingly.
- Railways allowed raw materials and finished goods to be moved quickly and in large quantities.
- They also enabled people to migrate to towns and cities in search of work.
- The transport network was a key factor in Britain's industrial success.
Urbanisation and Living Conditions
- Urbanisation occurred as people moved from the countryside to towns to work in factories.
- Industrial towns grew rapidly, often with overcrowded and unsanitary housing.
- Working conditions in factories were frequently dangerous and unhealthy, with long hours and low pay.
- Many workers, including children, were employed in mines and factories.
- Reformers and writers such as Friedrich Engels described the harsh conditions of the working class in the 1840s.
Child Labour and the Factory Acts
- Child labour was common in factories and mines, with children working long hours for low wages.
- The Factory Acts were a series of laws passed from 1802 onwards to regulate working conditions.
- The Factory Act of 1833 limited working hours for children and appointed inspectors to enforce the law.
- The Mines Act of 1842 prohibited women and children from working underground.
- These acts gradually improved conditions but were often poorly enforced at first.
Impact and Legacy
- The Industrial Revolution influenced almost every aspect of life, leading to sustained growth in average income and population.
- The standard of living improved for most in the Western world, though some historians argue it did not improve meaningfully until the 20th century.
- Before the Industrial Revolution, most manufacturing took place in China and India; afterwards, it shifted to North America and Western Europe.
- The term 'Industrial Revolution' was popularised by Arnold Toynbee in his 1881 lectures.
- Rapid growth resumed after 1870 with the Second Industrial Revolution, which introduced steel, mass production and electrical power.
