Thomas Edison.

The artistic movement that emerged as a result of industrialization was

romanticism.

In order to stop the spread of industrial technology, Britain

forbade mechanics, engineers, and others from leaving the country.

After Germany’s unification in 1871, industrialization accelerated and

constructed vast networks of railroads.

An important development or discovery in science and medicine due to industrialization was

Salk’s development of a vaccine that could prevent polio.

What is Andrew Carnegie most well known for?

creating the largest, most powerful companies the world had seen

The assembly line was perfected by

Henry Ford

Which country was the first to industrialize on the continent of Europe?

more leisure time.

The author who described the problems of industrialized England in his book Hard Times was

Industrialization was able to take off in the United States because of the natural resources that we have, which are advantages:

Waterways: which are deep and allow for boats to travel up and down, back and forth through. Rich mineral resources such as coal were able to be dug out of the ground. Fertile land, especially along the Great Plains. Massive forests as well.

Samuel Slater

immigrated to the United States in 1789. He was a young mill worker. He memorized the plans for building a spinning machine. Known as the father of the American Industrial Revolution.

Lowell Mills was built by Francis Cabot Lowell, who pioneered the textile manufacturing in the United States in the following ways:

Mills were built along the river because the moving water was the power source that turned the wheels. Francis Cabot Lowell mechanized every stage of the textile production. He improved the power loom. Led to and Increase of textiles to being produced. He hired and housed single female workers to work in his mill.

The American industrialization exploded throughout the country following the:

Civil War

Steel manufacturing.

Pushed along by men like Andrew Carnegie, who allowed for the Bessemer process, which made steel production much more efficient– as well as meat packing.

Assembly line

was created and perfected by Henry Ford, the person who founded Ford Motors. It allowed for the creation of automobiles to be done much faster and much cheaper. So more people could get an automobile.

economic power.

Thomas Edison

Created the Electric light Bulb, run by electricity, which would eventually power factories. Edison is regarded as one of the greatest inventors in history. He founded one of the world’s first modern research laboratory. And in his lifetime, he patented more than 1,000 inventions.

Wright brothers.

created the Airplane

Samuel Morse

created the Telegraph, he first way to ever send essentially a text message across the country.

Spread of Industrialism in EUROPE

Similar to in the United States, skilled workers secretly carried plans for building textile machinery. The first area to get some of those plans was BELGIUM, just across the canal from Great Britian. And consequently, it became the first to industrialize.

GERMANY, which began to industrialize in the 1830s.

limited mostly to the west, where there was already coal and iron resources. Industrialism was hindered because Germany was not unified until 1871. After 1871, after unification, industrialization accelerated or sped up because of the vast network of railroads being constructed. Second in steel production to the United States. Germany and the United States both are becoming Economic Powerhouses during this time period.

FRANCE:

French industrialization was slowed by political unrest, various revolutions.
