So what is the Industrial Revolution? 

The Industrial Revolution spelled a time of great change. It occurred mainly between 1750 and 1900.

It marked the movement for most people from the countryside and an agricultural way of life to the cities where they earned a small wage in the factories or mines.

Production of goods rose dramatically as Britain tapped into raw materials that it imported from overseas colonies and therefore it became one of the wealthiest nations in the world.
