I n this book, we’re going to talk about the history of the Industrial Revolution. So, let’s get right to it!



















T he Industrial Revolution is the name that represents an era in history. It began in Great Britain and spread throughout Europe and then the United States. The word “revolution” here doesn’t mean a war. Instead, it means a huge shift in culture. Prior to this time, textiles and fabrics were made at home.

T he advent of new machinery made it possible for people to mass-produce textiles and other products. Machines also revolutionized the way that farming was done. Instead of cutting down harvests with a sickle, farmers began to use machinery like mechanical reapers.

WHERE DID THIS ERA BEGIN?


G reat Britain was the first place where this shift in culture happened. This took place in the late 1700s and was spurred on by new inventions in the making of textiles. Women were making thread, fabric, and garments at home, which was a time- consuming and arduous process. With the new machinery, it was possible to mass-produce all the steps needed to make garments.
