The
Spread
of
Industrialization
The
pace
of
industrialization
in
Europe
and
the
United
States
depended
on
many
factors,
including
government
policy.
MainIdea
Governments
in
Belgium,
France,
and
the
German
states
supported
industrialization
and
provided
funds
to
build
roads,
canals,
and
railroads.
When
the
Industrial
Revolution
spread
to
the
United
States,
thousands
of
miles
of
roads
and
canals
were
built
to
link
East
and
West.
The
Spread
of
Industrialization
(cont.)
In
1807,
Robert
Fulton
built
the
first
paddle-wheel
steamboat,
improving
transportation
on
the
waterways.
Eventually,
railroads
provided
the
most
effective
means
of
transportation.
As
farmers
and
immigrants
filled
the
cities,
a
labor
force
became
available
to
the
factory
owners.
Women
and
children,
who
were
paid
lower
wages,
often
worked
in
the
factories.

Social
Impact
in
Europe
Industrialization
urbanized
Europe
and
created
new
social
classes,
as
well
as
the
conditions
for
the
rise
of
socialism.
MainIdea
European
cities
and
towns
grew
dramatically
by
1850.
The
rapid
growth
of
cities
led
to
overcrowding,
disease,
and
poverty.
Industrial
capitalism
rose
during
the
Industrial
Revolution
and
produced
a
new
middle
class
that
built
the
factories,
bought
the
machinery,
and
developed
the
markets.
Social
Impact
in
Europe
The
Industrial
Revolution
also
led
to
the
development
of
an
industrial
working
class.
The
working
class
had
little
protection
from
factory
and
mine
owners
and
faced
dangerous
working
conditions.
Women
and
children
made
up
a
significant
portion
of
the
labor
force
due
to
their
low
wages.
Social
Impact
in
Europe
(cont.)
617
Reformers
of
these
harsh
working
conditions
advocated
socialism
and
believed
that
public
ownership
of
production
would
allow
wealth
to
be
more
evenly
distributed.
Utopian
socialists
such
as
Robert
Owen
believed
that
an
ideal
society
could
be
created
through
socialism.

INDUSTRIALIZATION
Transformed
Society
The
Industrial
Revolution
began
in
Great
Britain
and
spread
throughout
Europe
and
the
United
States.
New
technologies
improved
the
production
and
transportation
of
goods.
Workers
migrated
to
cities
as
economies
shifted
from
being
farm-based
to
factory-based.
As
cities
grew,
an
industrial
middle
class
and
an
industrial
working
class
emerged.
