Textiles made individually in women's homes.

British transportation system, initially based on horse-drawn carriages and waterways, facing limitations.

Man-made waterways connecting existing rivers, improving shipping and factory growth.

Steam power led to crucial transportation like steamships and railways, driving massive industrial expansion.

Smaller, more portable steam engine for railways enabling improved coal transport.

Initially limited to Britain due to government secrecy, but eventually spread internationally.

British mill worker who disguised himself and smuggled industrial technology to the United States.

Increased air pollution, job displacement, accidents, and labor exploitation, along with downsides of increased production.

A period of innovation in farming techniques in early 1700s England, leading to increased food production.

Landlords fencing off their leased farmland, leading to changes in land ownership and tenant farming.

Planting different crops in a field each year to maintain soil fertility, improving farming yields.

Improving livestock by choosing breeding pairs based on desirable traits, often leading to a larger build and better quality

A significant rise in the population, resulting from better nutrition, sanitation, medical care in Britain.

The start of increased machine-made goods production in Britain.

Britain's strengths in natural resources (water, coal, iron), favorable geography, progressive ideas, sound banking, and political stability contributed to industrialization.

Textiles were the first industry to experience significant industrial changes because of demand exceeding cottage industry production capabilities.

The movement of people from rural areas to urban centers in search of jobs and steady income.

Multi-story apartment buildings housing numerous residents in cramped spaces, often with poor sanitation and limited amenities.

High rates of illness caused by poor sanitation and lack of hygiene, like Cholera, Typhoid, and Amoebic Dysentery.

A deadly disease characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration; can be fatal within days.

A dangerous illness, often lasting several weeks, with high fever and intense sweating.

Increased crime rates due to poverty and overcrowding in urban areas.

Farm work was unpredictable, seasonal, and often led to risk of income fluctuation if crops failed.

the large-scale shift of people from the countryside to cities, largely fueled by the lure of factory jobs.

Factory work in the past was characterized by long hours (12-14 hours, 6-7 days a week), poor ventilation, lack of breaks, and dangerous machinery.

Children often left school early to work in factories due to financial hardship, resulting in physical harm and stunted development.

Workers were often paid based on their output (piecework), faced strict discipline, and received low wages which led to families working together.

Factory machinery often caused serious injuries and illnesses, with no worker's compensation or insurance available.

Women were often excluded from high-paying jobs, paid less than men, and their employment was easily replaceable by men when they got married.

A payment system in which workers are paid based on the amount of work they produce.

Machines frequently led to worker’s injuries and illnesses, which were left uncompensated, with no worker's compensation.

Poor working conditions in factories included lack of ventilation, poor lighting, noisy environments, and physically demanding labor with no breaks.

Rotating crops in a field, leaving one part fallow (empty) each year to keep soil fertile.

Factors that contributed to Britain's Industrial Revolution, including natural resources, favorable geography, progressive ideas, developed banking, and political stability.

The first industry to experience major industrial changes, driven by increasing demand for clothes.

Canals were built to create man-made waterways connecting existing rivers, allowing cheaper shipping, greater availability of goods, and expansion of factories.

The steam engine led to the creation of steamships and railways, revolutionizing transportation and expanding industry.

George Stephenson created the first practical railroad engine by improving on Trevithick's design, making coal transport much more efficient.

Britain kept its industrial advancements a secret, preventing engineers and mechanics from leaving the country until 1825.

Samuel Slater, a British mill worker, memorized industrial machinery designs and built them in the United States, breaking British control.

Steam travel made goods more available due to cheaper shipping, lowered prices, increased industrial growth, opened new markets, and allowed more personal travel for pleasure.

Steam travel led to significant air pollution, job displacement, breakdowns and accidents, exploitation of factory workers, and increased industrial production.

The Agricultural Revolution improved farming techniques, leading to increased food production and a surplus of labor available to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution.

Issues faced by city dwellers due to overcrowding, including disease, high crime, fire hazards, and lack of sanitation.

Common illnesses in cities caused by poor sanitation and lack of hygiene, including cholera, typhoid fever, and amoebic dysentery.

Farming in the 1850s was unpredictable due to weather and uncertain income from crops.

Tenements were built with flammable materials, contributing to quick spreading fires, especially with open flames for lighting/cooking.

Factory work was demanding, with long hours, poor ventilation, no breaks, dangerous machinery, and risk of injuries.

Workers in factories typically worked long hours, often 12-14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, totaling 80-90 hours per week.

The speed of the machinery dictated the pace of work in factories, workers had to match the machines’ speed, creating a relentless, fast-paced environment.

Discipline was strict in factories. Workers faced fines or even dismissal for being late or refusing a task. Corporal punishment was often used as a means of discipline.

Children often left school to work in factories because their families needed the extra income. Factory work was physically demanding, and many children were stunted in their growth and suffered from deformities.

Women were generally excluded from high-paying or managerial positions in factories, often paid less than men and were often replaced by men when they got married.
