Causes of industrialisation
Around 1750 England was an enormous empire with many colonies.
  • Improvements in farming led to higher yields. Surplus of food led to population growth.
  • Population growth because mortality dropped and because there was more food available.
  • Natural resourcesLarge supplies of coal and iron ore (England) and cotton (colonies)

Slide 5 - Slide

Economic consequences of industrialisation
  • The mining and metal industry became very important (coal for steam engines and iron ore for steel)
  • Cottage industry and small workshops disappeared
  • Farmers were no longer self-employed on their farm,
but worked as laborers at fixed times for wages in factories.
  • Machines could produce more in the same time  
(mass production). As a result many products became cheaper.
  • Having money became more important than owning land.
  • Capitalism: economic system in which there are as few rules as possible in the economy, so that businessmen and factory owners can make as much profit as possible from producing goods.

society. People who worked in factories.
  • The landscape changed: factories appeared
 near coal mines. Infrastructure: there were
railways and canals constructed.
  • Environmental pollution: Increased use
coal led to air pollution. Start of global warming.
