Study Notes

Impact of Industrial Revolution on the World's Economy and Society

European Industrialization & Raw Materials: European industrial growth spurred a demand for raw materials to fuel industries and markets for those industries. This fueled the movement of capital and labor.
Continued Slave Trade & European Emigration: Oceanic slave trades continued, and in some places local slave trades persisted until being abolished: the US (1865), Brazil (1888), Congo/Sao Tomé (1908), and Mauritania (1981). European emigration, mostly to the Americas, peaked during the 19th century, linked to population booms caused by the Industrial Revolution and economic crises in Europe.
European Imperialism & Raw Materials: Europeans prioritized raw material production and transport to support their industrial expansion (18th-20th centuries): tropical agricultural products (cotton, rubber, coffee, oils), forestry products (wood, ivory), and mined products (copper, phosphates, gold, iron ore.)
Economic Benefits of Imperialism to Europe: European imperialism directly benefited European prosperity through expanded trade and associated profits, funding naval and port infrastructure development, and acquiring gold and silver, boosting trade activity and funding further trade.
Introduction of New Products: New goods from Asia (spices, eggplant, porcelain, silk), Americas (tomatoes, potatoes, corn, tobacco, rubber, vanilla, zucchini, peanuts, cassava), and Africa (millet, sorghum), lowered prices significantly on many new items.
Indirect Benefits of Imperialism to Europe: Imperialism fostered scientific advances in navigation, human sciences (anthropology, ethnology, influencing cultural relativism and cultural knowledge), and medicine (new drugs like quinine, naval surgeon improvements to combat scurvy).
Integration of Global Markets: The integration of European markets into a larger global system lessened agricultural shocks and fueled industrial growth through exports to colonies. Consumption was enriched with new goods, improving agricultural resilience in the modern period.
Industrial Revolution and Imperialism Causation: Was imperialism a cause of the Industrial Revolution? There are opposing views on this cause and effect.
Counterarguments to Imperialism as a Cause of the Industrial Revolution: Other empires (China, India, Ottoman Empire) were also imperialistic and militarily more powerful than Europe before the late 18th century. The pillaging of gold and silver in those earlier periods had ambiguous effects.
European Imperialism's Negative Impacts: Europe's growth from the 18th century resulted in a vast gap in wealth and well-being between nations of the Atlantic North and the rest of the world ("great divergence").
Polarization of Economic Flows/Colonial Impacts: Industrial-era European power greatly polarized economic flows. European nations controlled the direction of capital, labor, and raw materials towards their benefit.
Colonial Economies & the "Colonial Pact": The economic relationship between colonies and their parent nations was unequal; often reliant on few commodity exports to the home nations and limited infrastructure development to support these exports.
The Legacy of Slave Trade and Forced Labor: While the slave trade played a reduced role in European economies by the 1800s, forced labor persisted in colonies until the mid-20th century.
Correlation between Colonial Exploitation and Modern Poverty: There's a (weak) correlation between historical intensity of slavery and contemporary levels of poverty in several countries in Africa.
Emergence of the "Third World": The term "developing" nations (Third World) gained significance as a result of European colonialism and imposed unequal economic treaties throughout the 19th century, and only a few nations outside of Europe/North America industrialized before 1960.
Asymmetrical Trade Relations: Colonial economies were often highly specialized in a limited range of exports, chosen by the colonial power. This created asymmetrical trade relationships and limited regional economic integration.
Impact of Colonial Infrastructure: The design of railway networks often differed between industrialized nations and their overseas colonies, creating differences in development.
Unilateral Commercial Dependence: Colonies relied almost exclusively on their colonizers for imports and exports.
Comparative Trade Statistics (1913): Data show extreme differences in the proportion of imports/exports between colonies and their colonial powers.

Anthropologic Transformations Due to the Industrial Revolution

Improved Life Expectancy: Life expectancy significantly increased – from roughly 35 years in 1800 to over 70 in current times. Population growth is increasingly due to longer lifespans and less to birthrates.
Shifting Perceptions of Different Life Stages: Childhood, youth, womanhood, and old age have different meanings and impacts in the modern era.
Value of Childhood in the Modern Era: Childhood became more valued and children are viewed as individuals with rights, rather than as commodities or dependents.
Emergence of Youthful Identity: A new age of youthfulness emerged after World War II, linked to a growth in formal education and delaying entry into work/family life.
Gender Inequality and Rights: Gender inequalities were more visible and contested during industrialization, as it became harder for women to achieve autonomy.
Maternal Health & Childbearing: Maternal health improved, leading to a later average age for first pregnancies and lower wanted fertility rates. While the gap in women's health and wages continues to exist, progress in maternal mortality is significant (France: 1946- ~116 deaths per 100,000 births to current ~10 deaths per 100,000 births).
Aging Population: An aging society (over 60 years of age) is becoming more widespread. Older adults are no longer categorized solely based on frailty or poverty, but also include more robust health and capabilities.
Physical Characteristics: Physical human traits, including stature, weight, and overall physique, are changing rapidly, driven by aging populations, dietary changes, increased global population mixing, declining physical abilities in some populations, and global migration patterns.
