Russia And Japan Industrialization Analysis

Between 1750 and 1914, Western Europe was industrializing. Russian Empire, after their failures in the Crimean War, decided that it was time for reform. As a result, Russia dramatically changed its labor system, such as emancipation of the serfs and industrialization. However, while there were these changes, Russian serfs still saw little change in their quality of life. Serfs were essentially tied to the land and worked without pay.

From 1928, when the plan started, to 1932 to its end, many factories, dams, power stations and even cities were being built. Despite there being harsh penalties implemented to workers for failure to meet their targets, there was still a significant increase in Russia’s industrial growth in a very short period of time. Just like the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, under Tsar Alexander II, in protest of Stalin’s policies, the peasants, in protest, refused to work harder than they needed too, causing them to destroy livestock and crops, which eventually lead to their unnecessary death. Stalin, just like the Tsarist autocratic regime, was not committed to collectivism but preferred capitalism in his ruling of the Soviet Union. This caused a lot of rebellion from the Kulaks who opposed collectivism.

Deepesh Giri Imagine working in a factory standing up, putting your hand in hot water, and removing silk from silkworms for 13-14 hours. This was what the life of women and children in silk factories were during the Industrial Revolution in Japan. The Industrial Revolutions began in the 1800s it made producing goods like cloth faster and cheaper with the invention of machines. In Japan it did not arrive till 1868. In 1868 industrialization began because in that year Japan had new leaders who wanted to catch up with the west economically and militarily.

The Gilded Age boasted a lot of great things for the United States. It created so much in such a short amount of time, but that time also brought bad things. Monopolies, factory accidents, horrible working conditions, and an ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor. These problems were handled very poorly due. This was due to nobody really caring about the poor and not eliminating trusts.

The American Industrialization was in the late 1800’s making many things to improve the economy. The American Industrialization was caused by multiple factors, some of the factors included a growing population, a willing work force, high tariffs, among many more. These effects made people willing to work at lower wages so they can get jobs and buy American made goods. There were many outcomes of the Industrial Revolution, both positive, like improving people's lives, and negative effects, like exploitation of workers. The positive effects of American Industrialization is how it make work cheaper, employed thousands of workers, and improving people’s lives.

America was left with an enormous problem after the civil war, thousands of unskilled people. But, through strategic decisions this would lead to tremendous industrial growth. Industrialization grew rapidly during the period of 1860-1900 as a result of a verity of factors .Technological advancements, monopolies, and political assistance would all contribute in making America one of the leading global powers.

With the Industrial Revolution spreading throughout the world in the 1800s, it had a big impact on Japan. One of their biggest advancements were silk factories due to the rise of the new textile industry. Silk factories became a known place for many girls and women to work. Many of the costs and benefits of working there are arguable from pay to how the women were being treated. While some people believe that the wages given to female workers in Japanese Silk Factories were beneficial, it was not worth the low pay, excessive labor, or the working conditions.

In the beginning of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution caused a massive economic spike from small-scale production to large factories and mass production. Capitalism became the prevalent mode of the economy, which put all means of production in the hands of the bourgeoisie, or the upper class. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels argue that capitalism centralizes all the wealth and power in the bourgeoisie, despite the proletariat, or the working class, being the overwhelming majority of the population. The manufacturers would exploit the common proletariat and force them to would work in abysmal conditions and receive low wages, furthering the working class poverty. “The Communist Manifesto” predicts that as a result of the mistreatment

During the Civil War, soldiers both sides demanded food from the workers and peasants to support the war cause. Lenin fulfilled his promise of relieving the famine by instituting the New Economic Policy in March of 192, which allowed for some free market (capitalism) through the ownership of private buisnesses. The majority of people in Russia were peasant farmers, however, they did not get to own the land they worked. Instead wealthy noblemen owned the land, an often kept most of the harvest, leaving very little for the peasants.

In a time when America was coming out of the bloodiest war that was ever fought, against themselves, The Civil War, and when America looked overseas for a new frontier with Imperialism. It is in this context that America started to grow westward with farm land and in industry with the million of workers, but America still felt growing pains. Two significant ways in which farmers and industrial workers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age (1865-1900) were the formation of organizations to protect farmers, and the creation of labor unions and the use of strikes to protect the workers. One significant way in which farmers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age (1865 - 1900) was the formation of organizations to protect farmers. During Westward Expansion farmers fell victims to the low pricing of the crops.

Farmers and Industrial Workers in the Gilded Age In a time when industrialization was booming, immigrants were racing towards the “American Dream”, and cities were growing towards the sky, the United States was thriving. As a country, the United States went from rural, to mostly urban, which made America “the world’s largest industrial power” as stated by John Green. Since the U.S. had become mostly urban, this left the very few rural workers (farmers), and even some of the industrial workers unhappy. This period of industrialization is called the Gilded Age than spans from 1865 to 1900.The farmers and industrial workers responded to the Gilded Age in significantly negative ways including unions against their authority, strikes and political

The Industrial Revolution brought to America new technologies to manufacture and produce goods in quantities unseen before. In the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution new companies were learning how to monopolize and take advantage of the public, these companies would eventually effect America in more ways then one. During the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s many working class individuals lived in poverty because of the formations of monopolies and trusts. A trust is a basically another word for monopoly, which means one large business that corners a market and has no competition allowing it to raise their prices however they choose.

The industrial revolution was an impactful era for humanity’s advancement, all over the world. People becamse eager to find faster and easier ways of doing everyday tasks, and began inventing in the 1760’s. England was the first to begin the textile revolution, which was the mass production of cloth in mills and factories. The role of women in the textile industry was significant because of their agility and smaller hands. Soon after England’s revolution, Japan followed along, about a century later in the late 1800’s; through their emperor:

The impact of industrialization was visible in virtually every aspect of the American society. The largest economic actors stood to benefit the most from the division of labor. Large factories also

Russia finally started to industrialize in 1928 once Stalin implemented his five year plans. He increased food production by forcing peasants into collectivization. This allowed some people to move to cities and work on producing machinery, steel, and oil. The massive industrialization and progress of Russia was even underestimated by Hitler during the Second World
