History summary
The industrial revolution
(Manually --> mechanically)
Leerdoelen
• --> You can explain what industry is, using examples.
• --> You can explain the process of industrialization in the 19th century.
• --> You can explain why industrialization led to competition between European powers in
the 19th century. (page 3)
-->Industry – All economic activities that have to do with the processing of raw
materials (grondstoffen) and production of goods in factories
Process of industrialization – the process of manual labor getting replaced by
machines
-->Industrialization – process of replacing manual labor by mass production using
machines.
Hands and animals got replaced by fossil fuels and machines in for an example a
factory using steam engine and weapons.
First factories were in Great Britain, near coal mines and rivers, for textile.

intelligence)
Advantages of steam engines
- Faster
- Won’t get tired
- Don’t need to pay employees
Urbanization – moving to the cities for work related, living conditions were bad,
poverty, poor hygiene and criminality
Factories were dangerous because:
- Many moving parts
- Hot steam
- Things break down
- Arms and legs get stuck
Child labor – children that have to work, for very cheap, no healthcare or
protection
Consequences of the industrial revolution:
- Bad for environment/climate
- Urbanization
- Cheap mass production
- A new ‘working class’
- Improvements in clothing
- Population growth
- The rich got even richer
Social question – conflict between lower, middle and upper class for more
equality (gelijkheid)
1 = upper class
2 = middle class
3 = lower class (work in factories and make
money for 1 and 2)
Why did industrialization lead to competition?
