Life Changes as Industry Spreads
In the mid-1700s, the production of food and goods began to be made easier by complex
machines. This process of industrialization was slow at first, but eventually led to the growth of
cities and the end of a rural way of life.

Agriculture Spurs Industry
The Industrial Revolution began with improvements in farming. Rich landowners began to
enclose large farms, and farm laborers were pushed out of work. Populations in Europe soared
because of the food surplus and improved sanitation and medical care.
New Technology Becomes Key
In the 1700s, new sources of energy were developed. Coal powered the steam engine, which, in
turn, powered everything from trains to ships. The intense heat of coal also allowed for improved
iron production, which further benefited the new railroad industry.

Why Britain?
Britain was able to quickly industrialize because of several factors: coal and river transportation
routes were plentiful; there was a large pool of skilled mechanics; there were enough people who
had grown rich from trade to finance new industries; there was a stable government that
supported economic growth.

The Textile Industry Advances
The Industrial Revolution made its first big impact on the textile industry. Machines were
invented that cleaned cotton, spun thread, and wove cloth. Home-based workers were quickly
replaced by fewer factory workers.

canals were dug. Railroad tracks crisscrossed Europe and North America.

New Social Classes Emerge
The Industrial Revolution created two new classes of people: a middle class of entrepreneurs
whose lifestyles were fairly comfortable and an industrial working class, who packed into
tenements without running water or sanitation systems. Some British workers staged riots in the
early 1800s in protest of poor pay or working conditions. Methodism became a solace to many of
the workers.

Life in the Factories and Mines
Days were long in the factories and mines and days off were few. Accidents maimed people; dust
in the mines made people sick. Women workers had no rest between factory and home work.
Children also worked to keep food on the table.
The Results of Industrialization
In time, the Industrial Revolution also benefited many working-class people. When wages rose,
many could afford entertainment and travel in addition to food and shelter.
