Conclusion

Conclusion 

For conclusion we can say in that time of the Imperialism was a lot of disease because a lot of fabrics don’t have a lot of health, and that makes a lot of problems in the population in the fabrics gets diseases because pass a lot of time in the fabric and also cause that the people of the fabrics become infect others person outside.

Diseases in the Industrial Revolution

Cholera

Cholera is caused by bacteria called “Vibrio Cholerae”. It affects the intestines. You would get cholera if you drink water or eat food with Vibrio Cholarae. Living conditions during the Industrial Revolution were unsanitary so people were probably infected with cholera when they drank the dirty water from the water pumps.

Symptoms of cholera include diarrhea,vomiting, and dehydration,  and they appear from a few hours to five days after the person is infected. You would have to be treated with oral rehydration therapy if you got the disease. If cholera is not treated, infected people would die in several days.

Typhoid

Typhoid fever is a bacterial disease, caused by Salmonella typhi. It is transmitted through the ingestion of food or drink contaminated by the faeces or urine of infected people.

Symptoms usually develop 1–3 weeks after exposure, and may be mild or severe. They include high fever, malaise, headache, constipation or diarrhoea, rose-coloured spots on the chest, and enlarged spleen and liver. Healthy carrier state may follow acute illness.

Typhoid fever can be treated with antibiotics. However, resistance to common antimicrobials is widespread. Healthy carriers should be excluded from handling food.

Timeline

Industrial Revolution Timeline 

1740   - Britain had produced 17000 tons of iron.

1760   - James Watt improved the steam engine; the cotton industry became more productive.

1760   - Britain had imported 2.5 million pounds of raw cotton, which was used to produce cloth in cottage industries.

1764   - James Hargreaves had invented a machine called the spinning jenny, which made the spinning process much faster. In fact, spinners produced thread faster than weavers could use it.

1780   - Harry Cort developed a process called puddling.

1780   - The industrial revolution began in Great Britain.

1782   - Watt made changes that enabled the engine to drive machinery. Steam power could now be used to spin and weave cotton.

1787   - Invention of water-powered loom by Edmund Cartwright made it possible for the weaving of cloth to catch up with the spinning of thread.

1800   - More than 5 million people lived in the United State, and nearly 6 out of 7 American workers were farmers.

1804   - Trevithick’s locomotive ran on an industrial rail line in Britain.

1807   - Robert Fulton built the first paddle-wheel steamboat, the Clermont.

1830   - Women and children made up two-thirds of the cotton industry’s workforce.

1830   - The Rocket was used on the first public railway line.

1840   - 366 million pounds of cotton were imported each year. By this time, cotton cloth was Britain’s most valuable product.

1850   - A network of iron rails spread across Europe.

1852   - Britain produced almost 3 million tons of iron, more iron that was produced by the rest of the world combined.

1860   - Population had grown to more than 30 million people.

1860   - About 30,000 miles of railroad track covered the continental USA.

Introduction

Introduction 

This blog is about the Industrial Revolution and how it started to develop in Great Britain. During this time period new inventions were created, such as machines that lead to a complete new environment inside industries. The creation of machines made easier the production of goods and also way faster than human labor. But these changes also brought consequences, people started to get tired because they didn’t have a great job, meaning that they didn’t receive a fair treatment; they worked for more than 8 hours and weren’t paid well. Later, because of the industrial growth, children where needed to work, this made them leave school for good. As a consequence, diseases started to appear, many of them related with the respiratory system. All of these events and many others were the ones that made the revolution start.
