LT: How did the Industrial Revolution affect European interest in Africa?
What was the industrial revolution?
Started in the 1700s in England.
Factories were built to make products using machines.
How did this change the Europeans’ view about Africa?
Before the industrial revolution, Europeans wanted to trade with Africa for slaves to work plantations.
After the Ind. Rev. No more need for slaves!!
Machines did the work in Europe and the northern United States.
