This overview explores the significant impact of industrialization and technological innovations from the 18th century. It details the rise of interchangeable parts, the invention of the power loom, and key figures such as Joseph Marie Jacquard. The emergence of the telegraph and telephone revolutionized communication, allowing news to spread rapidly. The roles of different social classes, including the proletariat and capitalists, are examined alongside the influence of figures like Charles Darwin in biology and Dmitri Mendeleev in chemistry.

  2. Industrialism

  3. Industrial Revolution • Eighteenth Century. • Opened up trade and made it much easier and faster. • Half a century altered both life styles and attitudes. • Alsace-Lorraine – industrialization was concentrated before 1850

  4. Technology

  5. Technology • Interchangeable parts – if a part breaks it can be replaced • Mid 18th century – power loom • Joseph Marie Jacquard • Produced different patterns of cloth

  6. Technology German industries grew on Ruhr and Saxony French manufactures could create small amounts of high quality luxury items By 1847 a telegraph equipment company was established With production of steel, first skyscraper With skyscrapers, needs for elevators

  7. Technology • 1866 linotype machine • More illustrations in newspapers/magazines • Artist could create drawings, etchings and make multiple copies • 1879- The light bulb

  8. Types of Citizens • Proletariat – Industrial workers • Capitalists- Wealth in money, not land. Income comes from capital. • White collar- Employment that does not involve physical labor

  9. Communication

  10. The Telegraph • Allowed stories around the world to be reported much faster • Used cheap paper from wood pulp • Later produced by the Siemens family Telegraph Construction Company (1847) • Siemens brothers • News could travel faster

  11. The Morse Code • Telegrams were sent using Morse code. • This required skilled operators who could translate Morse code. • .... . .-.. .-.. --- • .-- . /  .-.. --- ...- . /  .--- . ... ..- ...

  12. The Telephone • Invented in 1879 • Invented by Alexander Graham Bell • Some world leaders refused to talk on the telephone • In 1912 there were five telephones in the United States, three in Scandinavia, and two in Germany. • Théâtrophone

  13. Science

  14. Sociology • Created in the 19th century • The “science of society” • It claimed that the society of humans could be studied and understood like any other part of the natural world. • AugusteComete • Émile Durkheim • empiricism • Friedrich Tönnies and Georg Simmel • Max Weber

  15. Max Weber Émile Durkheim AugusteComete

  16. Biology • Charles Darwin • Evolution – theory that diverse animal and plant species developed over time through a combination of genetic mutation and environmental influence • Darwin believed in natural selection, the theory that better-adapted species survive (and reproduce) while others are eliminated. • Gregor Mendel • Darwin’s theories had a HUGE impact on the scientific community. • Social Darwinists • Eugenics

  17. Charles Darwin Max Weber Émile Durkheim AugusteComete GregorMednel

  18. Biology • Anthropology • Olga SemyonovaTian-Shanskaia

  19. Chemistry • Dmitri Mendeleev • Rearranged the Periodic Table of Elements

  20. Charles Darwin Dimitri Mendeleev Max Weber Émile Durkheim AugusteComete GregorMednel

  21. Physics • Newtonian Physics • James Clerk Maxwell • Wilhelm Röntgen • Albert Einstein • Special theory of relativity • Max Planck
