The Industrial Revolution firstoriginated from Britainduring the 1700s, eventuallyspreading out to otherEuropean countries andUnited States, in the range of1700s through 1900s.

Industrial Revolution was a great chance for

the poor class, women, and even little childrento get a job but also provided such terrible

working conditions for them. Many wished

to work in the factories at first which caused

the urban cities to be over populated. The

factory owners started taking advantages of

their workers, where the workers were in

labor for working for almost 12 hours each

day. The little kids werent exceptions either.

No matter how dangerous and filthy the

working environments were, everyone would

me demanded to stay and work their full times

in order to get their assigned wages.

Someone of the workers were getting too

much stress and started abusing the machinesin the factories since they didnt find a good

purpose for why they had to work so

efficiently and get mistreated so much. Ideas

such as capitalism and communism arose

which eventually led to people having

arguments and disagreements due to the fact

that people were either divided into social

classes depending on their wealth or have

unfair ways of earning the money that people

deserve/ dont deserve.

The Problem


4/12

GOAL OF INDUSTR IAL REVOLUT ION

Factory workers

The factory workers wished for equal

rights and thought it was unfair for

them to be working hard and get low

wages while the factory owners and

merchants do not work like the

workers, yet still get all the profits

for themselves.Factory owners

The factory owners disagreed with

the factory owners. The owners

thought it was enough for them to

provide the workers with work at

least. The factory owners wanted to

grow our their incomes and help the

Britains economy.

Inventors

The main goal of the inventors was to

create new inventions with

technology to benefit the Britains

economy. They wanted to lead theeconomy and be a powerful nation.


5/12

EVENTS OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Industrial Revolution first began with

textile industry. The textile industry

included production of clothing and the

profits it brought to Britains economy.

Followed by the textile industry,

agriculture and inventions of

transportations are the main events of

Industrial Revolution. The enclosure

movement and crop rotation helped the

farms to increase in size and sped up the

income as well. The inventions of

transportations such as the steam

engine, railroads spread across other

European countries and the U.S.

The new middle class that was formed

consists of various skillful workers,

merchants, and wealthy factory owners.

They made a drastic change in both

political and social ways.


6/12

For the numerous problems that

voiced our during the Industrial

Revolution, few Reform Acts took

place as the confirmed resolution.

First the Factory Act happened

which took care of the age limits

( over age 9 ) for factory workers

and also cut down the time spent

in the factories. This Act was

especially favorable by the women

and children working in the

factories.

The next Act and took place was

the Mines Act. The Mines Act was

also dedicated for women and little

children since the Act prohibited

women and children from working

in the mines due to the dangerous

environments.

The last Act was the 10 Hours Act.

Like the name indicates, the 1o

Hours Act stated that children

cannot work more than 10 hours

each day. Before this Act took

place, everyone working in the

factories were demanded to work

12 hours each day for 6 days each

week but the Act cut down 2

hours for the children.

The Endin

THE FACTORY ACT

THE MINES ACT

THE 10 HOURS ACT

DemocraticReform

THE SETTING

The Democratic Reform began inthe early 1800s and ended in theearly 1900s. The very firstDemocratic Reform was during1832 when the Reform Bill of1832 happened, demanding forsuffrage and other rights for thewealthy middle class to own inthe politics.

QUEEN VICTORIA

QUEEN VICTORIA CAME TO

THRONE WHEN SHE WAS 18 YEARS

OLD AND RULED FOR 64 YEARS

WHEN IT WAS THE CLIMAX OF

THE BRITISH EMPIRE. SHE WAS

FORCED TO ACCEPT A LESS

POWERFUL ROLE FOR THE

MONARCHY.

ALFRED DREYFUS

ALFRED DREYFUS WAS A JEWISH

OFFICER IN THE FRENCH ARMY WHO

WAS ACCUSED OF SELLING FRENCH

ARMY SECRETS TO GERMANY. HE WAS

FOUND GUILTY BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE

WAS FRAMED BY THE OTHER ARMY

OFFICERS. LATER, A WRITER NAMED

ZOLA WROTE AN ARTICLE DEFENDING

DREYFUS AND HE EVENTUALLY

DECLARED HIS INNOCENCE.

ABRAHAM

LINCOLN

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS THE

PRESIDENT OF AMERICA WHEN

SLAVERY WAS AT ITS HIGHEST

PEEK. LINCOLN ISSUED THE

EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

TO STOP SLAVERY AND DEALT

DEALT WITH ALL KINDS OF

ARGUMENTS INCLUDING THE U.S

CIVIL WAR IN A MATURE WAY.


8/12

Chartist Movement

The Reform Bill in 1832 did give some

rights for the wealthy middle class

men but that was it. The Reform Bill

did not effect any other working

class men. The Chartist Movement

required suffrage for all men and

for their votes to be secretive so that

nobody will be pressured to over a

certain way. Finally, the Parliament

respected the Charters requests and

made every entreaty come true.

Slavery

The South and North had different

point of views with slavery. The South

had no problems with having slaves

but the North did not believe there

should be slavery. Since the South

depended most of their economy on

the slaves and the plantation, the

North had a stronger economy than

the South.America had the U.S Civil

War and the Emancipation

Proclamation to deal with this

matter.

Womens Suffrage

During the 1800s both women living in

United States and Great Britain

worked to achieve their rights. Many

protested but both men and women

knew it was radical to break this

tradition of women not being

powerful in politics. Emmeline

Pankhurst formed a Womens Social

and Political Union with her

daughters and worked even harder

to gain rights. Though she was

arrested numerous times, she never

gave up. In the end, the women

suffrage started to gain attention

between 1880 and 1914, and gained

rights after the World War I.

The Problem


9/12

GOAL OF DEMOCRATIC REFORM

The goal for all women was to gain

the rights to vote and equality.

Various countries that were a part

of the British Empire wanted to

stay in the empire but have their

own government and be dominion.Countries such as Canada,

Australia, New Zealand, and

Ireland, the native people spoke

against Britain and did not like the

fact that the British people were

killing the Natives of each countries

and trying to expand their culture

and lands across.

EVENTS OF DEMOCRATIC REFORM

War

WW1- Women Rights

From the early 1800s into the late 1800s, many inventors

such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham

Bell, Wrights Brothers, Marie Curie, etc invented multiple

inventions that were necessary in the humans lives such

as the light bulb , airplanes, the sewing machine, etc.


11/12

Women were finally given equality

and suffrage.

All the countries that were a part of

the British Empire either branched

off or remained in the empire but had

their own governments and became

dominions.

Even though the South had superior

military leadership, the North had

more advantages during the U.S Civil

War. The North ended up winning the

Civil War and all the states were

reunited with no more slavery.

America started to modernize as

they expanded their land to west and

gained wealth. Along with the land

and wealth they gained, they needed

new recreation. Automobiles and

telephones were one of the greatest

inventions since it made a difference

in our lives even until today with the

development we make with those

products today.
