The Industrial Revolution is a period in late 18th century and early 19 century. It was an big changes in Agriculture, Manufacturing, Production, and Transportation. In the United States, France, and Latin America, political revolution brought in new government. Different type of revolution change the way of working. A more modern world had begun. The Industrial Revolution started in England because England had all the factors of production. It refers to the greatly increased output of machine-made goods. It began in the middle 1700s.

Industrial Revolution Begins in Britain, ( Agriculture Revolution ) .
In 1700, small farms covered England's landscape. Wealthy landowners purchased small farms. After wealthy landowners buying up their lands of village farmers, they enclosed their land with fences or hedges. The large fields enclosed with fences and hedges were called enclosure. In these large fields, landowners experimented with more productive seeding and harvesting methods to boost crop yield. The enclosure movement had two important results.
1. Landowners tried new agricultural methods.
2. Large landowners forced small farmers to become tenant farmers or they could give up.
Jethro Tull was one of the first scientific farmers. He realized that the normal way of sowing seeds was wasteful. That's why he solved this problem by Seed Drill. The seed drill was a new invention that allowed farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows at specific depths.
The process of Crop Rotation proved to be one of the best developments by the scientific farmers. Charles " Turnip " Townsend discovered that the secret was to rotate the crops by planting a different crops every year.
The New Inventions During The Industrial Revolution.
During the early 18th century, the Great Britain was determined to dominate the textile industry.One of the most important thing during the revolution was Cotton. Cotton were used for everything and that's why people wanted to find ways to turn it into a useful produce fast. The large-scale factory production of textiles began in the late 1700s, becoming established first in Great Britain, where a cotton-spinning machine was invented in 1783 by Richard Arkwright.
