Industrial Revolution

What is the industrial revolution?
The industrial revolution was a time when products began being made by machines. It was also a time when working conditions were harsh because children and adults were forced to work long hours with low pay. The industrial revolution started in England and moved to Germany. Although the industrial revolution caused a lot of damage it also created many work opportunities and made many inventions, if it wasn't for the industrial revolution we may not have the modern inventions we have today.
