How did new technologies shape industrialization?

pychu [463]

There were a variety of key industries and technological innovations that led to the industrial boom.

Transportation

Railroads began their quest to cross the continent. In 1850 there were about 9,000 miles of track laid. Aided by government land grants in 1865 there was over 35,000 miles of track and by 1890 there was over 200,000 miles of track. By the year 1900 there was a nationwide network of railroads that made shipping and transportation easier and helped to spur on industrial growth.

New technologies in railroads also helped. George Westinghouse developed the air braking system and George Pullman developed sleeping cars.

Building Materials

New factories and office buildings were growing in size. Newer buildings in cities began to reach towards the sky and it was obvious that the old brick and wood buildings could not handle the load. New materiels such as concrete, steel and glass were used to build the new urban centers.

Andrew Carnegie built Carnegie Steel Corporation and then sold it to J. P. Morgan, who had made a fortune in banking, who created United States Steel Corporation.

Energy Sources

New energy sources powered the factories of the industrial age. Oil, electricity and coal would be the energy sources of the future.

Thomas Alva Edison started the nations first electric generating station and developed many invention including the light bulb and record player to utilize the new technology. George Westinghouse developed alternating current. A current of e;electricity that could travel long distances. Now wire could be drawn across the whole nation to transport electricity cheaply and efficiently.

John David Rockefeller organized Standard Oil Company of Ohio. Standard Oil became a huge oil monopoly (also known as trust). Demand for oil skyrocketed after 1901 and Rockefeller became the wealthiest man in the world.

Communications

Technologies developed to ease communications between soldiers during the Civil War became useful to everyday men and women. Samuel F. B. Morse developed the first telegraphic sending device and code called Morse Code. Later The Telegraph sent messages across America and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. The Bell Telephone Company was formed the next year and American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) was created in 1900.

All of these new technologies shaped and made industrialization possible.

Which was NOT a result of the English Civil War?

babymother [125]

The defeat of the Spanish Armada was not a result of the English Civil War, as this happened in 1588 during the Anglo-Spanish War.

The English Civil War led to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son Charles II, and the replacement of the English monarchy by the Commonwealth of England (1649-1653) and then a protectorate (1653-1659) under the personal government of Oliver Cromwell. The monopoly of the Church of England on the Christian religion in England ended, and a new Protestant aristocracy settled in Ireland. A precedent was established regarding the government of a king, who can not command without the consent of the Parliament and its people.
