Changes in Britain between 1750-1900
There were many changes in Britain between 1750-1900.These changes
included; Population, Work, Transport, Health, Culture and Politic.
This essay will analyse how greater a difference it made throughout
the years in detail. One of the biggest changes were population.
Population changed dramatically. In 1750 the total population was
about 11 million. Many babies died before their first birthday. The
annual death rate was 28 deaths per 1000 people. In 1825 the total
population was about 21 million. Many babies stilled died in their
first year of life but families were very large. The annual death rate
was 22 deaths per 1000 people. In 1900 the total population was 40
million. The population of England had risen at a rapid rate since
1825. In Scotland and Wales population was also rising but more slowly
than England. The population of Ireland had actually fallen owing to a
dreadful famine and the emigration that followed it. In England about
75 per cent of people lived in towns. Huge urban areas had developed.
The annual death rate had fallen to 18 deaths per 1000 people and the
birth rate was falling too.
One reason why population grew was because of the improvement in
health and hygiene. People did not know that germs caused disease and
they could do little to fight diseases like smallpox, diphtheria,
which killed many people. Only simple operations were possible because
there were no blood transfusions, and patients often died from
infection. But in 1825 little had changed. A vaccination had been
developed for smallpox, but there were no other vaccinations or drugs

... ‘Peterloo Masacre’. In 1900 most men could now vote but women still
couldn’t vote. Parliament included many MPs from the growing
industrial towns and fewer from the country areas. The government in
London and local authorities now played a large part in everyone’s
life. They had improved living and working conditions.
There has been an amazing change throughout the world from 1750-1900.
Not all has changed for the better in some cases, e.g. when work was
easier to get in the city’s people began to go and live there. Which
meant that the city became crowded and infection spread faster. Not
everything changed at the same pace e.g. Railways were introduced in
1825 and only five per cent of the population could vote until 1900,
when most men could vote but throughout all the years {1750-1900}
women still couldn’t vote.
...children to have the smallpox vaccination. Towns began building pure water systems and sewer systems, creating a much cleaner environment.
During the 1700s, Britain ruled over the colonies. The colonies had been discovered and settled by the British. The British believed that the colonies were British territories and were to be ruled as if they were British territories. The colonies did not like this. The Founding Fathers agreed that it was time for a change and sought to rebel from, and declare independence from the British. The Founding Fathers were justified in rebelling and declaring independence because the British rule had become oppressive, Britain was too small and too far away from the colonies to be in any position to rule over them, and the colonies had become large enough to become their own nation.
The British were motivated to explore North America so they could evangelize and share the glory of God, obtain wealth, and trump rival European nations. With the flow of British colonists into North America increasing, colonies started to flourish. Economies started to boom and there was a growing reliance on forced labor. The English became increasingly aware that coercible labor would be the primary method of maintaining a successful economy. From 1600 to 1763, interactions between Europe and the British American colonies shaped the labor systems of the colonies. A major change was the shift in the source of the workforce, but the reliance on forced labor stayed the same.
One of the primary changes between 1700 and 1750 was the changes in population, in the English colonies, increasing from 250,000 to one million. In the seventeenth century most of the immigrants to English North America came from England. In the eighteenth century they came instead from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Germany (http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/objects.pdf).
The filth of the cities promoted the spread of disease faster than doctors could discover a cure. This encouraged large outbreaks of many deadly diseases. And it is said that throughout this period there were people who went about the cities and towns with wagons calling "Bring out your dead!" in a fashion similar to that of the Medieval era during the bubonic plague (Which, by the way, was not yet a dead disease).
A growing population resulted in a greater demand for Great Britain. They were the first to start the Industrial revolution. With their invention of the steam engine transportation of goods and people boomed, railroad, canals, etc. which resulted in a new class system. Before people lived in small communities and their lives revolved around farming, but with the start of the revolution more people and laborers moved to the city which had become urban and industrialized. New banking techniques such as corporations, partnerships, credit, and stocks were invented. Everything used to be made in people’s homes using handmade tools, yet now everything is done in factories using mass production. The three major materials cotton, coal, and iron were the up and coming new products used during the industrial revolution. Cotton was used for the textile industry, coal for steam power, and iron for the new types of transportation. There was also an improvement in living standards for some, but the poor and working people had to deal with bad employment and living conditions. When the laborers moved to the cities clocks and
During the Industrial Revolution (During a period between the 18th and 19th century which created major technological advances were created) in Britain a number of social problems arose. Two of the major issues were the state of working conditions for lower paid workers including child labour and the lack of general sanitation practises and infrastructure. Despite the early social problems of working conditions and sanitation created by the Industrial Revolution the long term social reforms including the Factory Act in 1833 and the Public Health Act in 1848 outweigh the short term issues encountered.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Great Britain went through change in all phases of life with the industrial revolution. Scientific improvements and technological modernizations brought growing industrial and agricultural production. The biggest changes were in rural areas, where the local land sometimes became urban and industrialized because of advances in agriculture and industry.
The 19th century was a big turn for the modernization of hospitals. During the 19th century hospitals focus came to medical care, rather than the place for charity and the care for the poor. The hospital became a place where medical training was performed, and the profession of nursing was established. The structure and how the organization of hospitals changed as well, the issues with lighting and sanitation were beginning to be addressed and changed. Medical theory and research became the focus of treatment in hospitals, rather than religion being the dominant influence in the establishment of hospitals. The modernization of hospitals made it into an establishment devoted to recovery and healing, rather than a place where the sick would go to die. In this paper I will talk about a nurse named
During the mid 18th century through the 19th century England started the Industrial Revolution. At the end of the industrial revolution there were more advantages than disadvantages, because the industrial revolution had to had cynical altercation in order for an increase in positive results. For example, the way goods were now manufacture. The goods were no longer produced in the household but in factories. England’s society had grown from agricultural to an industry dependent on manufacturing. Since the replacement of manual labor to manufacturing,the transformation of productivity and technical efficiency grew.For example, discipline managers would whip their workers if a task was not complete in the right format. The industrial revolution made people migrate from rural areas into urban communities in search of work which led to the expansion of cities.
...5 million people. By the end of the nineteenth century, it had reached around 390 million people. The rapid population growth reflected changing patterns of fertility and mortality. Once the medical advancements took place, physicians were able to help prevent diseases and the mortality rates started to lower. The fertility rate started to increase because more infants were able to grow into adults, which was resulting in rapid industrializing societies.
The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century changed Europe forever. At the front of this change was Great Britain, which used some natural advantages and tremendous thinking and innovation to become the leader of the Industrial Revolution.
Between the years 1700 and 1850, England underwent a period of vast and rapid industrialization. In doing so, England established itself as the leader of industrialization in the world and caused other countries in Europe and America to follow the same trend during the late 18th century. In England during 1700, England was a nation composed of several rural villages. If any change occurred in England, it occurred very gradually, since the people moved slowly. The population had only limited amounts of information regarding the world outside of their villages. The civilization within Great Britain was primarily agrarian. As time progressed far into the 19th century, England began to advance at a higher speed in social, political, and economic
The Industrial Revolution, which took place between the 18th and 19th centuries, was a shifting period from primarily agrarian society to industrial society. During this time, many changes took place. Industrialization changed various different industries including technology, transportation, and immigration. Products could now be mass produced using machines. There was no longer a need for highly skilled workers, because of the ease of working a machine. The process of industrialization is called a revolution because it distinguished a change in the way the world operated.
