1 Industrial Revolution Spreads

The first phase of industrialization had largely been made-up from iron, powered by steam engines, and driven by the British textile industry. By the mid-1800s, the Industrial Revolution entered a second phase. New industrial powers emerged. Factories powered by electricity used innovative processes to turn out new products. Changes in business organization contributed to the rise of giant companies. As the twentieth century begin, this second Industrial Revolution transformed the economies of the Western world.

I. New Industrial Powers Emerge

Thanks to William Cockerill, Belgium was the 2nd country to industrialize.

Industrial nations competed with each other, changing patterns of world trade. Western powers came to dominate the world more than ever before.

II. Technology Sparks Industrial Growth

Henry Bessemer
Turned iron into steel. Steel was lighter, harder, and more durable than iron meaningits cheaper! Steel could be used for tools, bridges, and railroads.

Michael Faraday

Invented dynamite. Safer form of explosion. Used in construction and warfare.

Created the dynamo,

machine that generates electricity.

Thomas Edison

Invented the light bulb.

III. Transportation and Communication Advances

 The automobile age begins.

Nikolaus Otto invented gas-powered internal combustion engine Karl Benz patented the first 3 wheel automobile Gottlieb Daimler introduced first 4 wheel Henry Ford used assembly line to massproduce cars.

IV. Business Takes a New Direction

Big business required investing a lot of money.
Owners sold stocks which formed corporations.

Powerful corporations created monopolies

Groups of corporations formed cartels to control markets

captains of industry or robber barons.
