Concetti Chiave
- The Industrial Revolution began in late 18th century England, transitioning from agriculture to industry, due to factors like the free movement of goods and an efficient transport network.
- England's surplus capital and abundant raw materials, like coal and iron, supported industrial growth and attracted low-wage workers to cities.
- The Revolution expanded to Belgium, Switzerland, France, and Germany, with each country developing unique industrial models, notably Germany's banking system integration.
- The Revolution experienced two phases: the first (1770-1830) with textile production growth, and the second (post-1830) marked by railway expansion and steel industry strengthening.
- Industrial advancements stemmed from both practical technicians improving life and scientists theorizing innovations beyond their discoveries.
What was the Beginning of the Industrial Revolution?
The first industrial revolution was built in England in the late eighteenth century between 1770 and 1870, a period in which agriculture was overcome by the industry and most of the farmers thus became worker. It began in England due to a number of factors:
-The English revolution had allowed the free movement of goods which until then had been denied due to constraints like feudal duties.
-The Country was endowed with an efficient transport network consists of roads and waterways.
-Fin The sixteenth century were widespread in the countryside fences that favored the specialization of production and then England had a surplus of capital to invest.
-Many Peasants moved to the cities and worked at low wages favoring the accumulation of industrial profits.
-Nacque In England a large international market for the sale of products.
-L'Inghilterra Was rich in raw materials, coal and iron.
-There Were the most important technical and scientific discoveries.
Expansion of the Industrial Revolution
The second country in which arose the industrial revolution was in Belgium in 1790 thanks to the remarkable development of agriculture, trade and mining. Later also Swiss, France and Germany. Misa latter developed a model that tends to the strong contribution of the banking system with the use of investment banks. In 1850 knew the industrial revolution also the United States and later Japan, Russia and Italy.
Two Phases of the Revolution
Two moments:
-the first period from 1770 to 1830 characterized by the expansion of textile production.
-the second period from 1830 onwards, which was characterized by the advent of the railways and the strengthening of the steel industry.
Also there was a trend characterized by the cyclical nature.
We should not say that innovations arising in consequence of the scientific revolution because there are two different stories:
-That technicians who were men even uncultured but clever as improved human life;
-That scientists theorized that and were prepared to go slightly beyond their findings to reveal the advantages.
Domande da interrogazione
- What factors contributed to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England?
- What characterized the two phases of the Industrial Revolution?
The Industrial Revolution began in England due to several factors, including the free movement of goods post-English revolution, an efficient transport network, surplus capital for investment, a shift of peasants to cities for low-wage work, a large international market, and abundant raw materials like coal and iron.
The first phase (1770-1830) was marked by the expansion of textile production, while the second phase (from 1830 onwards) saw the advent of railways and the strengthening of the steel industry, with a cyclical trend in innovations.
