Personal Overview
How did the European Industrial Revolution affect society?
The European Industrial Revolution affected the society in many ways. Industrial Revolution started in Britain and as time passed, Britain started to become more advanced compared to the rest of the countries. Because of this benefit, Britain would buy cheap, natural resources from other countries to create new products. Afterwards, Britain’s profit came from selling the new products to other countries for a higher price.
