How would you characterize the expansion of the industry throughout europe during the early 1800s?
As nonexistent. The only European country that industrialized in the early 1800s was Britain;continental Europe didn't industrialize until the second half of the 19th century,during what was known as the Second Industrial Revolution.
Were factory conditions in the early 1800s similar throughout Europe?
No. Britain industrialized well before any other country, so in the early 1800s only Britain had large factories packed with big,modern industrial machinery.Thus this was the only place such factory conditions existed at the time.
How would you characterize the expansion of industry throughout europe during the early 1800's?
The Industrial Revolution was characterised by the invention of machines which replaced the need for human labour, and also perpetuated capitalism massively.
What factors hampered industrialization throughout 19th century Russia?
Feudalism. From Russian industrialisation“During the early 19th century Russia developed trade relationships with other European countries and exported large amounts of grain. But most of the export revenue that flowed into the empire simply lined the pockets of aristocrats and powerful land-owners; it was not used as capital to develop an industrialised economy. Industrial projects and incentives were often proposed – but they were rarely embraced since they threatened the financial interests of conservative landowners. There was some heavy industry – mining, steel production, oil and so on – but this was small when compared to Russia’s imperial rivals: Britain, France and Germany. It took defeat in the Crimean War (1853-56) to expose the empire’s lack of development and the urgent need for Russian industrialisation. Russian factories were unable to produce sufficient amounts of weapons, munitions or machinery. There was very little technical innovation; most of Russia’s new technologies were imported from the West. And the empire’s railway system was woefully inadequate, with insufficient rail lines and rolling stock to move men or equipment in large amounts.”
Explain the impact the Industrial Revolution had on Western Europe?
By Western Europe you mean Britain, and later, Belgium and Germany. The industrial revolution turned agricultural based economies, with a mostly rural population into industrial economies, with mostly urban populations. As the towns and cities grew, the need for raw materials, as well as for new markets for manufactured goods fuelled the need for a large navy to protect merchant shipping. As trade expanded across the globe, the British acquired an Empire, almost by accident - initially establishing trading ports, then assuming governmental roles. Most colonies were established to provide the materials to feed the factories, or, as in Aden (now Yemen), as coaling stations. Proto-industrialisation was the cottage system - a family would weave cloth, or manufacture products by hand in the home - it prepared no one for the methods of working in the new factories of the industrial revolution. The exploited were the workers - those who had been forced of the land only a few years earlier by the enclosure of land and by the (slight) industrialisation of agriculture. They were poor, desperate and in need of work. The public responded first by accepting the new labour system, they had little choice; then by forming trade unions - called labour unions in the USA. Then, in the late 19th Century political parties were formed expressly designed to represent the working people - most were, and are, social democratic parties - such as Britain's Labour Party, others were extremest, often Communist (inspired by Karl Marx), or, in Ukraine, Spain and parts of France, Anarchist parties. Industrialisation led to a clamour for colonies, and, directly to the massive build up of armaments - particularly the Dreadnought class of battleship.
Why did education increase during the industrial revolution and examples?
If your are able to offer any specific site that can provide me with any further information regarding the rise in education during the industrail revoltuion, more specifically in Great Britian it would be greatly apperciated.!
The expansion of American industry was sparked mainly by?
Interchangeable parts (technology) encouraged American industry after the War of 1912. Up until that outbreak of the so-called "Second American Revolution," Americans had been trade partners with England almost exclusively. The war would change that forever. Prior to 1800, the invention of the cotton gin is usually seen as the kick-off to American industrialization along with the invention of the new steamboat to ply the western rivers in the early U.S. These were guaranteed to make money as western produce was brought to New Orleans and off to eastern U.S. and world markets. Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin was great for agriculture, but his invention of a machine to make cut nails was perhaps a greater boon to American industry as it eliminated the need to import iron nails from England. This also gave rise to an American metals industry. The sewing machine and clock from the 1830's is followed by the early plows that made quick work of the prairie sod. The industrialization is well underway with innovations like Colt's revolver and Winchester's rifles as well. I hope this helps some
How did the Industrial Revolution lead to Imperialism?
There’s Correlation and Coincidence rather than any Connection.If we define European Imperialism as say, the Europeans invading and occupying territory in Asian nations for entirely mercantile reasons, then that preceded the Industrial Revolution. The British Raj is officially said to “begin” with victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 by the East India Company. The EITC was a mercantile corporation rather than an industrial one.They were there for exclusive control and monopoly of Indian goods and products for the global market. And they played a similar role in trying to open up China. The Industrial Revolution didn’t quite take off when this happened. It had early beginnings sure but there was no real connection.The intersections between the Industrial Revolution and Imperialism happened at the end of the decade, where industrial production was creating a surplus of goods that the English needed to sell at good prices to maximize profits. And they sought to sell their goods internationally, where they faced competition from rival empires and from local competitions. That led to the rise of what the British call “Free Trade” and what Germans and others consider to be very much “England’s Freedom to Trade”.The Industrial Revolution is more an overall event than something with a plot and goal.
