The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. There are three main causes of the Industrial Revolution: water power and coal to fuel the machines, harbors for the ships to sail in, and natural resources. ]]> 2020-10-20 20:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846655843 kimberlyvargasram https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846750768 One cause for the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain was people losing their jobs. People started losing their jobs after machines came out, bosses would find machines cool cause machines can work all day long and the boss wouldn't have to pay it, only maintain it, bosses found machines a great investment. In the article "The Origins Of The Industrial Revolution" Straussman and Byrd O'Connor stated "First, vast amounts of energy were unleashed, in the form of burning fossil fuels, like coal. Capital (money) was becoming more concentrated. Certain people and companies were becoming richer, and able to create large businesses.". For example, a lot of farmers were losing their jobs and farmers were desperate for a new job so wherever they got accepted into a new job, they would take the chance.  ]]> 2020-10-20 21:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846750768 kimberlyvargasram https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846805198 Another cause for the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain was that the machines. People were making machines and some people were losing their job, other people, they were benefiting from it like machines would make their job easier. In the article "The Beginnings Of Industrialization" Danzer stated "Before the Industrial Revolution, people wove textiles by hand. Then, machines began to do this and other jobs." but just because a company got machines don't mean they fired all their employees, they still had them to service the machines and some employees would get the finished product from the machines. ]]> 2020-10-20 22:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846805198 kimberlyvargasram https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846807090 The final cause for the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain was that people found out about steam engines. People found out about steam engines around the 18th century and they would put steam engines in trains, in the article "The Industry Revolution" Stokes Brown stated "James Watt (1736–1819), a Scottish instrument-maker who in 1776 designed an engine in which burning coal produced steam, which drove a piston assisted by a partial vacuum." people found out a new way to travel instead of walking miles and miles to go work. In 1750 people found out new ways to live and work, people started to discovered machines, coal, fossil fuels, natural gas, and oil. People in 2020 should be interested in the Industrial Revolution because it has a wonderful story and everybody should find out how things started back then. ]]> 2020-10-20 22:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846807090 kimberlyvargasram https://padlet.com/kimberlyvargasram/3e9sidiui5yqt3o5/wish/846811505 The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world.
