Industrialization in Europe -Iron and Coal

• The extraction and refinement of coal and iron in the early 19th century made new industrial production possible.

• Iron was the best metal for making machinery

• Coal was the best power source in light of reduced availability of timber.

• The puddling process used coke to create better quality iron.

• Britain had significant coal and iron deposits.

The Steam Engine

• The steam engine had been used in mining since the middle 18th century.

• More efficient steam engines expanded the use of steam power.

• Steam power was an essential part of the blast furnace for iron smelting.

• James Watt increased the efficiency and design of steam engines, making them feasible for use in transportation,

Page 17: Foundations of the 19 th  Century

Transportation

• Road and canal building in Great Britain and on the continent in the early 19th century was a major government expenditure and undertaking.

• Roads and canals linked the coal and iron fields with ports and manufacturing centers, allowing the materials to be processed.

Railroads

• The development of steam engines and better quality iron led to the development of railroads.

• George Stephenson was the first to produce an economically viable locomotive in 1825.

• Railroads soon spread across Britain and Europe.

• By 1870, European railroad mileage totaled almost 900,000 miles

Effects of the Wars

• Britain’s lead in industrialization increased in the period between 1789 and 1815.

• Britain’s insular position and connections to the rest of the world continued the industrial process, while chaos on the continent slowed it.

• The debt and change of the post-war years led to a slow return to economic growth.

Page 22: Foundations of the 19 th  Century

Industrialization spreads

• In the years after 1815, industrialization spread more extensively to the continent.

• This was seen primarily in Belgium, Western Germany, Northern France and the Netherlands.

• This was due to the availability of natural resources, trade networks, and new free market policies that developed during the Revolution and Napoleonic periods.

Social Effects of Industrialization

• The movement of weaving and other industries to factories changed the economic and social landscape.

• Production occurred on a massive scale and led to the mass migration of people to cities.

• Differentiation (in division of labor, class, or government) had a significant impact on social relationships.

Page 26: Foundations of the 19 th  Century

The Family

• Family roles changed due to the changes occurring and varied among classes.

• More women and children were found in the workplace as the need for unskilled labor rose (leaving skilled men unemployed).

• Development of “middle class values” during this period influenced the views of work and of women’s roles in contrast to working class and aristocratic ideas.

Standard of Living

• Wealth grew dramatically during the early 19th century, but the middle and upper classes benefited the most.

• Living conditions in the factory towns were often deplorable and overcrowded.

• Cyclical unemployment kept many families on the brink of starvation.

• Even so, standards of living did start to rise by mid-century due to economic stabilization and business reforms.
