Introduction Chapter Nine

Through the years 1700 to 1900, the world began to change.  No longer were factories full of people, but were now full of machines that could do jobs of former workers.  These machines were not only cheaper in the long run, they also provided efficient and consistent work for the owners.  This growth led to a height in the productions of goods in Europe along with North America.  This era is known as the Industrial Revolution.

The goal I hope to achieve within this Chapter is to understand Great Britain's influence and significance in this era as I think it had a large significance to its imperial growth.
