  11. Industrialization • Modern industry => scientific activity and invention of the 17th century • James Watt – steam engine – change?

  12. Industrialization • Preconditions for industrialization • Technical knowledge and invention • Large population to serve as a workforce • Possession of natural resources to be turned into manufactured goods • Investment capital (money) to build factories • A stable and capitalist-minded government • Poorer nations have large population but lack investment capital • US and Germany surpassed Britain by 1900

  13. Industrialization • Technology • Higher-grade steel => transportation and weaponry • Engine-driven steel ships replaced wooden ships • Trains revolutionized transportation and were transplanted into Asian & African colonies

  14. Industrialization • Impact on gender, family, and social structures • Slavery declined & free-wage laborers declined • Family as an economic moved to production outside the home • Men’s status increased because industrial work and the wage were considered more important than domestic work • Middle-class women generally did not work outside the home • “cult of domesticity”

  15. Industrialization • Global effects of industrialization • Global division of labor emerged • Industrial societies needed raw materials: • Cotton (India & Egypt) • Rubber (Brazil & Congo) • Cash crops (Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and SE Asia) • These areas developed little to no industrialization themselves • Wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few • “Dependency Theory”

  16. Industrialization • Reactions to Industrialization: • Socialism • Anti-capitalist reform movements • Karl Marx • Overthrow of the moneyed class (bourgeoisie) • Establish a “workers state” • Unionism • Less radical • Sought better wages and working conditions • Britain led the way in reforms to better working conditions

  17. Reform and Reaction • Ottoman Empire • By the 18th century they had fallen behind the Europeans in strength and technology … were more vulnerable • Central gov’t less effective while provinces became more independent, often controlling their own armies • Muhammad Ali … seized power in Egypt after the fall of Napoleon and was only minimally subordinate to the Ottoman sultans • Ali’s son commissioned the French to build the Suez Canal that opened in 1869 • Transformed Egypt into a critical strategic location • Ottomans also lost trade b/c of Europen bypass directly to India & China • Atlantic Ocean now became the focal point away from the Ottomans • European goods flooded Ottoman market and they became dependent on foreign loans • Huge blow to the ego of the Ottomans

  20. Reform and Reaction • China • China, like the Ottomans & Russians had to deal with their own issues of reform and reaction. • Qing (Manchu) saw massive population growth, new food crops from the Americas, and new monetary system based on silver • Opium War (1839) … unequal treaties … extraterritoriality • Taiping Rebellion (1850’s to 1860’s) … Hong Xiuquan … anti-Chinese society rebellion … deadliest rebellion in world history • Reform > Self-Strengthening Movement … “Chinese learning at the base, Western learning for use.” … shipyards, railroads, & weapon industries along with science academies • Hundred Days Reform … Emperor Guangzu … constitutional monarchy, guarantee civil right liberties, encourage foreign influence … led to Boxer Rebellion (1899-1900) • Sun Yat Sen … Pu Yi … end of the Qing Dynasty (1911) • Three Principles of Sun: Nationalism, Democracy, Socialism

  22. Imperialism and its Impact • Three motives: economic, political, and cultural • Economic: Colonies = sources of raw materials and markets for manufactured goods. • Political: colonies were strategic sites with harbors and supply stations for naval ships • Culturally: hoped to convert the Asian and African people to Christianity … “White Man’s Burden” • India • UK’s interest was purely a business venture … British East India Company … took advantage of Mughal weaknesses • Sepoys … Sepoy Revolt (1857) • Tea, coffee, and opium were cultivated • British built railroads, telegraphs, canals, harbors, and irrigation systems … English-style schools were set up for elite Indians • Indian National Congress founded in 1885 • Muslim League • Promised independence if they fought in World War I

  23. Imperialism and its Impact • Africa • Europe had little presence in Africa outside coastal trading posts for most of modern world history ... • “Scramble for Africa” (1875-1900) … Europe dominates entire continent • King Leopold II of Belgium – Congo Free State … holocaust? • British in Egypt (1882) … seized Suez Canal • Berlin Conference • Japan • After accepting western help seized Korea (1894) and Manchuria (1904) after military victories • Japan was now on the world stage

  24. Imperialism and its Impact • Legacy of Imperialism • Manufacturers became suppliers of raw materials and consumers of imported goods • Migration increased … USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia, South Africa in search for cheap land and better economic opportunities • Indentured servants (Asia & Africa) went to tropical lands for plantation labor • Scientific racism (Social Darwinism)

  25. Emancipation • Slavery • Mid-19th century liberals pushed for abolition … Enlightenment influence • Slavery, from an economic sense, became less profitable • Prices of sugar, cotton, and tobacco fell • Emancipation: • Britain (1833) • France (1848) • United States (1865) • Brazil (1888) • Freedom ≠ equality

  26. Emancipation • Serfdom • Key to social change in Russia had to be the emancipation of the serfs • Opposition to serfdom had been growing since the 1700’s • “obstacle to economic development” as well as source of instability and revolts • Czar Alexander II (1861) freed serfs & compensated landowners for the loss of land and serfs • Serf labor obligations were gradually cancelled • Won few political rights and paid huge taxes on their “new land” • Their emancipation led to very little increase in agricultural production • Did create a large urban labor force necessary for industrialization

  27. Cultural Influences • African and Asian Influences on European Art • European artists took an interest in African & Asian artistic styles • Impressionism > based on Japanese influences in nature • Modern art was soon launched, free from traditional constraints • Cultural Policies of Meiji Japan • Heavily influenced by the Western culture • Japanese literature > writers experimented with Western verse • Architects & artists created large buildings of steel with Greek columns like those seen in the West • Leisure & Consumption • Industrialization brought about higher wages & fewer work hours … brought about new concept of “leisure time” • Advertisements > “needed things” • Newspapers, theaters, and professional sports all became popular
