Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Effects in the 18th/19th Century

   Industrialization refers to the development of machine production of goods and new energy resources. Industrialization had many positive and negative effects on the citizens of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Positive Effects

   Industrialization had many positive effects on society in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The creation of power machines and factories provided many new job opportunities. The new machinery increased production speed of good and gave people the ability to transport raw materials. Industrialization also lead to urbanization. Urbanization is the movement of people into cities and city building. Citizens wanted to live closer to the factories that they worked at. The Western World went from rural and agricultural to urban industrial.

Industrialization in Europe and the United States were marked by moderate inflation and rapid development of technology, manufacturing and trade.

Industrialization in Europe is known for rapid development of manufacturing and trade.

Steam Engine:

   The newly invented steam engine provided cheap movement of goods through waterways. Canals were built so resources could be transported with ease.

This picture shows one of James Watt's running steam engines which  powered steam boats and railroad trains.

The Railroad System:

The inventions of railroads dramatically revolutionized life in Britain. The railroads gave manufacturers a cheap way to transport their products.  Fresh food could also be delivered to distant towns. The railways also gave people opportunities to travel. Traveling meant that people met people from other cities which resulted in long distance relationships and marriages. Time standards, newspapers and mail systems were also invented.

The Railways helped Europe modernize in many significant ways.

Road Transportation:

   John McAdam, a Scottish engineer improved roads a lot. He created a new layout for roads so they are safer and more effective. The road beds consisted of large stones which helped with drainage. On the top were finely crushed rocks.  

The new design of roads let wagons travel in the rain without sinking into muddy grounds.

 Overall, industrialization helped life in Europe a lot. It raised the standards of living since new materials and products were available for public use.

Negative Effects

   Despite its many positive effects, industrialization had a negative impact on Europe too. Urban areas doubled, tripled, or quadrupled in size which led to over crowding in cities. Sometimes a large population is a good thing, but in this case the population was too big and caused many health problems. Living conditions were dirty and unhealthy. Cities were unsanitary and diseases filled the streets. There were no sanitation codes in cities. Many citizens got very sick.

Briefly describe what Europe, East Asia, or the Americas looked like going into the mid to late 18th century.
Alexxx [7]

1 – EUROPE:

1.1 – In 1760, the Industrial Revolution was limited, first, to England. There were the emergence of cotton fabric industries, with the use of mechanical looms. At that time the improvement of steam engines contributed to the continuation of the Revolution.

1.2 - The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that emerged during the eighteenth century in Europe, which advocated the use of reason (light) against the old regime (darkness) and preached greater economic and political freedom.

Some thinkers became famous and stood out for their works and ideas in this period. Examples: Voltaire, Rousseau and John Locke ( considered the father of enlightment).  

2 – CHINA :

In the mid of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, the structure of Asian trade changed substantially. Trade relations between Asia and Europe accounted for a greater volume of goods and greater financial value than Asia-Asia trade, with the opium trade in Southeast Asia (Macau) being the largest among Europeans, especially the British, and the Chinese Empire.

3 – AMERICA :

Seven Years' War

This war occurred between England and France between the years 1756 and 1763. It was a war for possession of territories in North America and England was victorious. Even so, the metropolis decided to recover the losses of the colonists' battles that inhabited, mainly, the colonies of the north. With the rise of metropolitan taxes and taxes, settlers made protests and demonstrations against England.

The British King, George III, continued to adopt increasing restrictive measures, especially after the First Congress in Philadelphia in 1774. The colony revolt was boosting, which influenced the independence process.

In 1776, settlers gathered at the Second Congress in Philadelphia aiming to achieve  independence. During the congress, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. However, England did not accept the independence of its colonies and declared war. The War of Independence, which occurred between 1776 and 1783, was won by the United States with the support of France and Spain.
