1. Map Activity: The Development of the Industrial Revolution Cartographers represent economic systems and changes on economic maps. What follows are two economic maps that portray changes in Europe during the Industrial Revolution. Consider the first map, which portrays the Industrial Revolution in Europe in 1850, and use it to answer the questions that follow.

Where quiet villages once stood, large factory complexes were built. Peasants who had previously worked in cycles with the harvest became subject to factory discipline and daily work, and many moved into growing cities. The changing economic life of Europeans transformed the face of the continent. Based on the map, what can you conclude about the development of the iron industry in Europe? O Berlin was the most important iron-producing center in Europe. O The iron industry often prospered near coal mines. O France was Europe's leading iron producer. Similarly, what can you conclude about industrial development in Britain? O Britain had no competition from the European continent in the textile industry in 1850. O Britain was the most industrially developed state in 1850, and it led Europe in almost every industry. O Britain had a developed textile industry, but it lacked a developed coal mining industry. Now, consider this map of continental Europe, and use it to answer the question that follows. 190 200 Km DENMARK Baltic Sea North Sea Railroads completed, c. 1850 Major exposed coal deposits Emerging industrial areas Scattered ironworks Benoder Warsaw POLAND Odes Posen Hamburg NETHERLANDS Bremen ENGLAND Amsterdam Cotton RUHR Essen de color Kassel GERMAN Lider Dieppe Le Havre BELGIUM Frankfurt Rouen Cotton cotton Linen A ussels cologne Lege Breslau CONFEDERATION SI Krakw Lemberg Prague Linen Pans MPIRE Linen Nantes -Orlans Munich wool Munich Lizen Linza FRANCE P Budapest HUNGARY Bay of Biscay AUSTRIAN Mulhouse Mulhouse Le Creusot Zurich SWITZERLAND Lyons .
