Chapter 9

The Industrial Revolution

1700-1900

In England during the 18th century, machines began rapidly replacing hand labor in producing goods. This era where factorys were growing very quickly is known as the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution did not only take place where it started in England but soon spread to Continental Europe and North America.

What I hope to accomplish through this blog about chapter 9, is a better understanding of how the Industrial Revolution began. I also would like to learn more of the inventions and advances in technology that were brought about during this era, and accomplish the reasoning to how this era of Industrialization connects to all of us in today's modern world.
