It caused many farmers to do research and development on the farms which they experimented with agricultural methods. Jethro Tull, a wealthy farmer, wanted to create a better method to planting seeds and soon created the seed drill. Eventually, farmers experimented with livestock breeding methods to raise healthier animals and developed better varieties of food. These methods helped improved the countries' food production rate which resulted in a larger population. Farmers looked for better methods to help increase their supply of food and income which helped start the Industrial revolution. The Cottage Industries gave jobs to many since it required man power to perform the tasks. However, when inventors started to create machines to speed up the process, they took away many jobs from people. The new machines were to big for the Cottage so it resulted in the construction of factories with water power. The factories provided jobs for people in the area but caused many to move from suburban to a populated urban area. The shift gave many people jobs in the urban area and it produced much more than it did before. However, the living style in urban areas were terrible and unsanitary. The people who hired these children would fool them. They could pay them less than what a regular man would get payed so it helped gain a better income for the owners. Children would be doing most of the crucial work by obtaining coal with a wage that was worthless and incomparable to the work they've done. It was cheap labor for the best income.
 * Explain, in detail, what effect changes in Agriculture had on the industrial revolution **
 * Predict, what effect might the shift from Cottage industries to factories have on the lives of textile workers and on towns and cities **.
 * Evaluate how you think people justified the use of children doing hard labor in cold mines **.

 * __Key Factors__**
 * 1) Led many countries into expansion for better and more resources.
 * It caused many countries to expand to more land. This caused tensions between small countries since they needed more land than the larger ones. This is how it sparked World War I. Germany wanted to expand so they took it by force.
 * 1) The spread of industrialization to other parts of the world was unintended.
 * Britain wanted to hold their superiority in the economy over the world. They didn't intend to let their technology, which increased their production and income, spread to other countries. However, the technology was leaked to other countries which benefitted from it and competed with Britain.
 * 1) Some countries were forced into industrialization.
 * Japan was one of the countries that was forced to industrialization after U.S forced them to open trade. Japan didn't industrialize due to cultural reasons and for the sake of nationalism.
 * 1) Technology was spread that further improved and increase the spread of the Industrial Revolution.
 * Without the technology that Britian had, countries had a hard time competing with the top economic country. Britian was selling their products cheap since their rate of production was fast unlike other countries.
 * 1) Advanced transportation.
 * Transportation was a large factor in the trading industries. Countries had to transport cargo to others at faster times. The more products that one country would sell, the more income they would get. Therefore, inventors tried to increase speed and efficiency in transportation such as railroads and the steamships.


 * __Thesis Statement__**
 * The industrial revolution had a major impact on how people worked and lived. Explain the major advantage and disadvantage of the Industrial Revolution.**
 * Throughout the Industrial Revolution, large impacts were made on the society that benefitted people by more available jobs and urbanization. However, the working and living conditions were completely unsafe and unsanitary which caused many people to become deformed and ill.**

I would support Capitalism since there are more advantages to the society and economy than disadvantages and that I'm a bit bias. Capitalism allows one to become an individual and gives them their own freedom for choice which many would want. They would want to become different than others and able to share their original thinking or creativity. By receiving their own freedom, they are allowed financial freedom which helps them stay in the marketing competition and to receive a very good income. Communism does not allow such a thing. They want people to support the society before they support themselves in order to prevent people getting selfish but that has not been working out. Therefore, people are not allowed to start an individual enterprise since it does not benefit the society first. Communism does not allow an individual to compete in the market.

1. **How did cities grow and change in the late 1800s**? The cities grew by the overwhelming amount of people trying to obtain jobs. The tenements had to be built larger to house more people and built utility lines underground to save space. Soon, streetlights were used which made the night life more lively than ever. Trains were eventually built underground called subway which gave plenty of room to expand on the surface. Skyscrapers were also built which was over ten stories tall and even taller after the invention of elevators. Cities were trying to expand as much as possible to gain more land for buildings. 2. **Why did people migrate to cities**? People migrated to cities in different countries to obtain jobs in the factories. Other reasons are that they wanted to escape the hunger, political oppression or discrimination. Eventually, the population of foreigners grew larger and larger. Many of them were from Ireland, England, Gernany, Italy, Russia, and China. They lived in unsanitary and unsafe tenements. 3. **Describe the conditions that made cities more livable**? Cities became more livable after the reconstruction of tenements. It gave the buildings clean water for families and improved the water and sewer system. That gave families the usage of toliets which is better than throwing their chamber pot out the window. Skyscrapers were built to enhance the living style for the people and it saved more room than building multiple buildings for housing. They built underground rail systems called subway to save room on the surface.
