The Industrial Revolution occurred first in Europe in the 19th century. This could be because of the "deeply rooted features of European society history or culture", however it could also be due to the simple fact that Europe was way established for thousands of years where no other country was. From there, the Revolution moved to Britain. The sole reason was because of Britain's political life. It welcomed economic innovation.
Although the Revolution was great, one of the problems with it was the social transformation. It separated people into categories and once in them, it was hard to get out. The three main social classes were the aristocrats, which was the high up, rich families. They owned more than half of the cultivated land in Britain. The middle class, which were people who were mine owners, bankers, merchants, and business men. The laboring classes, which was made up of more than 70 percent of Britain's population. These were the workers in the mines, ports, factories, workshops, and farms. They made little money, and not only did the men have to work, but so did the women and children.
Eventually this Revolution spread to countries all over the world and wherever it stuck, it created an economic miracle. They However, each country did it a little differently. For instance, the United States embraced the Industrialization however, they embraced it without Socialism. Russia got a hold of it and the benefit of that was they got more of a social class.
Overall, the Industrial revoltion was a good thing and it really changed/made an impact on the world today.
