 * By:****__Ivan S.__**        

During the 18th and 19th centuries the period from 1700 to 1899 lots of things were invented that made it easier to make things and get work done. People could do their job way easier and could work way faster .One invention led to another, so that there were lots of important changes in a short period of time. These inventions didn't make things a little different; they made them a lot different. Most products people in the industrialized nations use today are turned out swiftly by the process of mass production, by people working on assembly lines using power driven machines. Machines really helped out people in Europe .People of ancient and medieval times had no such products. They had to spend long, tiring hours of hand labor even on simple objects. The energy, or power, they accomplished in work came almost wholly from their own and animals muscles. The Industrial Revolution is the name given the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacture. The Factories in Manchester were the key symbol of the worlds first Industrial Revolution. These factories were known to produce many things such as Cotton, Chocolate, Beer, Tea, etc. By beginning Victoria ’s Reign the factory system was well established in preparing the raw cotton and spinning it into yarn. The triumph of the factory was complete; but the system continued to expand. At its peak in the early 20th Century, the Lancashire cotton industry employed around 600,000 people. The spinning and weaving processes were concentrated in different areas, however, the former close to Manchester, the latter further north on an axis between Preston, Blackburn and Nelson.
