Introduction

Chapter 22: The Revolution in Energy and Industry is about the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution refers to the replacement of animal and human power by making goods in factories through the use of machines. With no previous examples to follow, Britain had to pioneer in industrial technology, social relations, and urban living. This revolution expanded to other countries of the world like the United States. What I hope to accomplish through this blog is to explain why the Industrial Revolution began in Britain and how/why it spread to other areas of the world.
