Summary

The Industrial Revoultion first start in England at the start to the 19th Century. The Great Britain is the first country to be industrialized. U.S., Japan, and Germany later became industrialized. The first country to be industrialize, the first to gain power. Because of this, the Great Britain gained the most power in the 19th century. During the Industrial Revolution, farmland were taken by the land owners to build fatories. Many factories were built during that time. Because there weren't any farmland to farm, many famers lost their job and became factory workers. The factory owners need many cheap workers, so many child labor were used because they are cheap. These child labors were forced to work for long hours without resting. Also, the working condition is awful. Fumes produce by the machines poisoned the workers and make them sick. The fumes also poisoned the enviroment and cause lots of people to sick.
