INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION

Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution was a
period from 1760 to 1840, when
major changes in agriculture,
manufacturing, mining, and
transportation were happening in
Britain.
These changes subsequently
spread throughout Europe, North
America, and eventually the world.

Old system
In 1700, manufacturing
system was hand made,
which called cottage
industry was dominated.
At that time merchants
dropped off raw
materials at peoples
homes and picked up
finished products later.

Initial INVENTIONS
Cloth machines
inventions was the
base of industrial
revelation.
In 1733, John Kay
invented Flying
Shuttle, which was
used to weave cloth.

Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)

In1760, James
Hargreaves
invented Spinning
Jenny, which was
used for multiple
threads to be
woven together.

Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)

In 1763, James
Watt invented
Steam Engine,
which impacted
the most on
cloth industry
that time.

Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)

In 1769, Richard
Arkwright
invented Water
Frame, which
used water to
power the spinning
frame.

Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)

In 1785, Edmund
Cartwright
invented Water
Loom, which
was first machine
that could weave
cloth.

Initial INVENTIONS (Cont.)

In 1793, Eli
Whitney invented
Cotton Gin
machine, which
was used to
separate cotton
seeds from the
cotton.

Why industrial revolution started in

Britain
In the time period 1715-1850, there were many
natural resources available in Britain, including
large amount of coal and iron reservoirs.
Geographical advantages include a river system for
water power, many resources and harbors for easy
trade.

A strong, stable government allowed a strong,

stable economy to develop which resulted in extra
money to invest.

Why industrial revolution started in

Britain
Colonial empire provided much needed
raw materials and markets.
After that, revolution spread to
continental Europe, United States of
America, and Japan between 1850 and
1914.

Changes Brought by the Industrial

Revolution
Invention of the steam engine in 1763 by James Watt
shifted labor from humans and animals to machines.
Inventions continue to make life, manufacturing, and
farming easier and better.
Continuous reinvestment of profits fueled even greater
growth.
Inventions in one area often led to inventions in others.
Transportation and communication systems have greatly
enhanced.
