What were the major differences between industrialization in the United States and in Russia?
Industrialization in the United States took place in one of the Western world's most exuberant democracies, while Russia's took place in the last outpost of absolute monarchy, in which the state exercised far greater control over individuals and society than anywhere in the Western world.
What did industrialization look like in Russia?
Rapid industrialization caused discontent among the people, the growth of factories brought new problems, poor working conditions, really low wages, child labor, outlawed trade unions. War and revolution destroyed the Russian economy.
Why did industrialization not work in Russia?
In the early 1800s, Russian leaders developed trading relationships with other European nations, exporting large amounts of grain and timber. Most of the revenue that flowed into the country lined the pockets of aristocrats and landowners and was not invested in industrialisation.
What did Russia focus on in their industrialization?
In the 1890s, Nicholas' government focused on economic development. It encouraged the building of railroads to connect iron and coal mines with factories and to transport goods across Russia.
