The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was an era where
a lot of changes occurred in many things such as; the manufacture of metals, agriculture
etc. The term ‘’revolution’’ in this context is used in the sense that it
brought a great change of how things were done such as the production in
agriculture (the further improvements done to increase food, wood an cotton
production), in metallurgy a certain Abraham Darby managed to smelt pig iron
with coke (which lessened the amount of trees which where chopped down to
create fires to smelt the iron thus providing more wood for other things).
