The Industrialization of Japan and Germany

            ndustrialization was a time period that took place from the 18th to 19th century. Industrialization is the process of developing machine production of goods, which required natural resources. Manufacturing was often done in people's homes which were known as the cotton industry which used manual labor and hand tools/basic machines. Industrialization allowed people to produce massive amount of goods at one time. Inventors worked and developed a series of machines that transformed the industrialization time period. At the time England was talented in the making of wool and cotton cloth. Inventions which supported the producing of thread/fabric included the Spinning Jenny that was invented by James Hargreaves which could produce several spools of thread at the same time to keep up with demand in a shorter time and reducing the overall price. Another invention was the Water Frame that was invented by Richard Arkwright. This invention led to producing stronger threads for yarns. .
             The next challenge for the industrialization thinkers was to engineer a way that these new machines could be powered by an energy source that was more efficient and stronger than human labor. The solution was steam power which James Watts attempted to improve Newcomen's steam engine. It was a simple device that used boiling water to create mechanical motion to be used in a useful way. Since the discovery and use of agriculture years ago, no other event has affected mankind more drastically. The results of this revolution would completely change the way humans acted. Like How they worked and labored, the amount and type of goods they bought, the family structure, the social classes, and the way individuals thought were all changed. Spinners and weavers were hired to work in factories instead of at home. The economic system of capitalism was then developing, with the means of production owned by people who hired workers.
