  2. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Agricultural Revolution: • Wealthy bought more land  experimentation • Results: • Tried new agricultural methods • Small farmers forced to become tenant farmers or give up farming & move to cities • Ex: Jethro Tull invented seed drill Jethro Tull’s Seed Drill

  3. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Crop Rotation: • Improved medieval 3-field system • Ex: • Year 1: Wheat (exhausted soil nutrients) • Year 2: Root crop like turnips (restore nutrients) • Year 3: Barley • Year 4: Clover

  4. Industrialization in EnglandContributing Factors: • Why Britain?: • Natural Resources: • Water power & coal – fuel machines • Iron ore – construct machines, tools, buildings • Rivers – inland transportation • Harbors – merchant ships set sail

  9. Industrialization in JapanContributing Factors • Meiji Reform: • Meiji = “enlightened rule” • Mutsuhito – symbolized pride & nationalism • Took over gov’t after Tokugawa shogun stepped down

  10. Industrialization in EnglandProcess: • Transportation: • James Watt – improved steam engine • Robert Fulton – put steam engine in steamboat • England – canals built – slashed cost of transporting goods • Improved roads where wagons would not sink when it rained • Steam-powered locomotives
