Industrial Revolution

Summary - 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.

Answer: The industrial Revolution started in Great Britain because they had all the factors of production. They had many natural resources like coal and iron. Also the country is surrounded by bodies of water, making steam transportation available. The country was very heavily populated so they had many people to work on farms, and still have plenty of people to work in factories. There was a high demand for the new inventions, so many people worked on making these for people, instead of making everything by themselves. This made it possible to advance in technology so quickley.
