- The Industrial Revolution began in England in the mid-1700s
- It involved a massive increase in the production of goods using machinery
- The revolution spread to other countries including the United States, France, and Latin America
- Prior to the revolution, textiles were produced by hand, then machines took over
Agricultural Revolution
- Wealthy landowners enclosed land that village farmers previously used
- This allowed for larger fields and experimentation with more productive farming methods
- Enclosure movement resulted in tenant farmers and forced some farmers to move to cities
- Jethro Tull invented a seed drill to improve planting efficiency
Crop Rotation
- Crop rotation, which improved upon older methods, was a key development in scientific agriculture
- The method involved rotating different crops in a field, allowing nutrients to replenish
Inventions Spurring Industrialization
- Spinning jenny (Hargreaves): Increased thread production by one person
- Water frame (Arkwright): Used waterpower to drive spinning wheels
- Spinning mule (Crompton): Combined features of spinning jenny and water frame for finer thread
- Power loom (Cartwright): Speeded up weaving
- Cotton gin (Whitney): Significantly increased cotton production
Transportation Innovations
- Steam engine (Watt): Improved and more efficient steam engine
