Industrial Development in the United States
How did industrialization begin in the United States?
Other countries began to industrialize after
Great Britain. The United States was one of the
first. Like Britain, the United States had a great deal
of coal and water to create power. There was also
plenty of iron. In addition, the immigrants that
came to the United States created a large supply of
workers.
The United States also benefited from
conflict with Britain. During the War of 1812, Britain
stopped shipping goods to the United States. As a
result, American industries began to make many of
the goods that Americans wanted.
In 1813, a group of Massachusetts investors
built textile factories in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Just a few years later they built even more factories
in the Massachusetts town of Lowell. Thousands of
workers, mostly young girls, came to these towns to
work in the factories.
American industry first grew in the
Northeast. In the last decades of the 1800s,
industrial growth spread to other areas of the
nation. This boom was fueled by large supplies of
coal, oil, and iron. New inventions, including the
electric light also helped. As in Britain, railroad
building was also a big part of American industrial
growth.
Businesses needed huge sums of money to
do big projects. To raise money, companies sold
stock. Stocks are shares of ownership in a company.
All those who held stock were part owners of the
company. This form of business organization is
called a corporation.

Continental Europe Industrializes
Where did industrialization begin in Continental
Europe?
Industrial growth also spread from England
to the European continent. Belgium was the first to
industrialize. It was rich in iron and coal and had
good waterways.
Germany was divided politically until the late
1800s. As a result, it did not develop much industry
at first. However, the Ruhr Valley in Western
Germany was rich in coal. The Ruhr Valley
eventually became a leading industrial region.
Across Europe, small areas began to change
to the new industries. Industrial growth did not
occur in France until after 1830. It was helped by
the government’s construction of a large network of
railroads. Some countries, such as Austria-Hungary
and Spain, faced transportation problems that held
them back from industrializing.
The Impact of Industrialization
How did industrialization change the world?
The Industrial Revolution changed the world.
Countries that industrialized gained more wealth
and power than those that did not. The countries of
Europe soon began to take advantage of lands in
Africa and Asia.
The Europeans wanted to use these lands as
sources of raw materials for their factories.
European merchants saw the people on other
continents as little more than markets for European
goods. The European nations took control of the
lands in many areas of the world outside of Europe.
This practice is called imperialism.
The Industrial Revolution that took place in
the 1700s and 1800s changed life forever in the
countries that industrialized. Problems caused by
industrialization let to movements for social reform.
