The Industrial Revolution Spreads [AP World History] Unit 5 Topic 4

AP HEIMLER REVIEW GUIDE (formerly known as the Ultimate Review Packet):

In this video Heimler walks through three nations into which the Industrial Revolution spread: the United States, Russia, and Japan.

In the United States, industry boomed primarily because of the huge influx of Irish and German immigrants who flooded its shores in search of work. They were often paid low wages, but in many cases had few other choices.

In Russia, they focused their industrial capacity on railroads, most notably the Trans-Siberian Railroad which stretched from Moscow to the Pacific Ocean.

In Japan industrialization took on a more defensive posture. Japan industrialized in order to keep other industrial nations at bay and to protect their own culture.

And while the Industrial Revolution spread throughout the world more traditional manufacturing like shipbuilding in India/South East Asia and iron works in India declined in the face of such overwhelming odds.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler will answer forthwithly.

Heimler, as an ambassador of all the Russians out there, we're all glad you mentioned Russia. Russia always gets left out on the curb :(
