Industrial Revolution 
1750-1900

Not only did the method of production change enormously: the arrival driven by steam also brought about major changes in the transport of people and goods.
Big changes in Western Europe due to the rise of factories and new means of transport at the end of the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth century.

Causes of the Industrial Revolution

  • Agriculture improved in the eighteenth century, which made the British population grow. 
  •  The number of workers increased (urbanisation)
  • Cheap raw materials (such as cotton) were available from the colonies.
  •  Great Britain had large deposits of coal and iron ore. That meant the fuel for the steam engines was cheap.
  •  More and more new machines were invented.
