The Industrial Revolution(s) might have begun in Britain, but the changes they wrought soon spread beyond the British Isles. Let’s take a look at how industrialism spreads and influences the economies and societies of the following locations:
1. Belgium
Surprise! The Belgians were the second Europeans to industrialize after Great Britain. Read the article, “Industrial History: Belgium,” and answer the associated questions in your packet.
2. Germany (Well. Fake Germany until 1871. Then it’s real Germany.)
Oh, let’s be sensible about this. After all, we’re talking about Germany, and it’s a place well-known for its appreciation of efficiency. You already know what I’m going to tell you to do: I want you to read the article, “Industrial History: Germany,” and answer the questions you’ll find in your packet.
3. France
If having a revolution was problematic for the Americans in terms of their industrialization, imagine what the French Revolution must have done. Then again, there is that rivalry with Britain to consider, as well as all those rationalistic, scientific French Enlightenment thinkers… So do the French industrialize quickly or not? Read the article “Industrial History: France,” and answer the questions you’ll find in your packet.
Once the Revolution spread, it made more and more problems clear. Go to your last task, Task Seven, to learn about reform movements of the Industrial Revolution
