The Industrial Revolution occurred during the 1700’s in England. It began within the textile industry. Prior to the Revolution, many workers wove textiles by hand. They didn’t have any machines to make the process faster. When the Industrial Revolution began, machines were being built that did the job for them, and did it quicker. The Industrial Revolution began in England due to the fact that they had an abundance of resources, they had inventions created to help them work faster, and the workers were productive.
