Industrialization to the Max ( Description )

The Industrial Revolution, which spanned from the 1700's to the 1800's, changed a lot of peoples' lives all around the world. Most of these changes were caused by the industrialization of the economy. This revolution began in Britain in the 1700's, which quickly moved to other parts of the globe, like Europe and the United States.

During the Industrial Revolution the overall yield of most products skyrocketed. This was caused by more efficient machines and more organized factories. This changed society, because before the changes took place, most people worked on the farm or at home. Now , instead of people, machines did all the work. The factories didn't need people to make things anymore, they needed them to operate the machines. All in all, the Industrial Revolution turned society and peoples lives 180 degrees.
