6.02 The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution started first in England. It started because new farm technologies and inventions made it so less people were needed to farm. These people went to look for work in the cities. At the same time, new technologies were developed in the cities to create factories. Now goods could be produced fast and efficient! And labor was needed! This Revolution eventually spread to the rest of Europe, America, and Japan.

6.04 Imperialism Imperialism: the system under which nations take over other countries either by conquering them or by gaining control over their political and economic systems. Why would a country want to do this? 1. To get metals and resources: Ex. Gold, Wood, Ore 2. Get consumers for new produced factory goods 3. To increase their status 4. To compete with other nations 5. To support racial bias and “civilize” less developed nations and peoples.

How could a country get away with it? European powers "shopping" for colonies to exploit looked mainly for those that were politically and militarily weak and that had abundant natural resources. (Ex. China) Once there, they would use propaganda to show how they were there “civilizing”. Helped them to justify. Does this still happen today? Most colonies gained their independence in the early 1900’s. No European countries hold a place today, like they did then. In some cases, colonialism has given way to a more gentle system. However, many countries are still dealing with the effects, both positive and negative.
