How were cottage industries replaced by factory manufacturing?

• Cottage industries voluntarily shut down due to lack of demand for their products
• People became too occupied with their jobs to continue making products by hand.

• Cottage industries were deemed too expensive and inefficient with the development of machinery that increased productivity in factories.

• Government regulations prohibited the operation of cottage industries

What is industry and what does it require in order to function?

• Industry is the distribution of goods within an economy. It requires manufactured products to function.

• Industry is the process of increasing productivity in factories. It requires new technologies to function.

• Industry is the service sector of the economy. It requires a strong labor force.

• Industry is the process of using machines and large-scale processes to produce manufactured goods. It requires raw materials.

Why did cities form close to natural resources, energy sources, or transportation routes?

• These areas are also where farms had been, so society continued to develop in these areas.

• Cities formed randomly without any consideration for resources or transportation.

• Population density was greater in these areas.

• Essential raw materials, power, and accessibility for economic activities and growth

How did social classes shift during the Industrial Revolution?

• The middle class grew, the working class expanded, and the gap between the rich and poor widened.
• The gap between the rich and poor narrowed as economic development was evenly distributed.

• The working class decreased in size while the upper classes grew significantly.

What were some of the physical changes to cities during the Industrial Revolution?

• Urban areas experienced a decrease in population during the Industrial Revolution.

• Cities saw an improvement in living conditions for the working class.

• Urban-to-rural migration occurred as people sought to escape the poor living conditions and environmental hazards.

• Cities experienced rapid population growth, overcrowding, poor living conditions, and pollution.

How did colonialism/imperialism influence industrialization?

• Promoted sustainable industrial practices.

• Provided industrializing countries access to raw materials, markets, and cheap labor.

• Hindered industrialization by restricting access to resources.

• Allowed for economic and political growth of former colonies.

How and why did deindustrialization occur?

• Increased government subsidies for manufacturing industries that incentivized companies to move their factories.

• A decrease in the global population that caused a labor shortage.

• Technological advancements that decreased reliance on manufacturing jobs and transfer of production to lower-wage countries.

• Lack of demand for manufactured goods in core countries.

What aided the diffusion of industrialization and expansion of cities during the Industrial Revolution?

• Industrialization diffused through relocation diffusion as people from Great Britain brought over new techniques.

• Transportation technology such as the steam engine, new infrastructure such as canals, and the development of the metals industry such as steel for buildings and bridges.

• Rapidly increasing populations that put pressure on innovators to find solutions for the demand for more housing.

• The discovery of coal which allowed for increasingly efficient machinery.
