Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution, term usually applied to the social and economic changes that mark the transition from a stable agricultural and commercial society to a modern industrial society relying on complex machinery rather than tools.

The industrial revolution started in Great Britain due to many factors. Great Britians contained many of the factors of production needed. IT was surrounded by water so it had a way of transportation. Also it had many natural resources such as coal and iron. The country was heavily populated so they had a surplus of people to work in factories.
