Industrial Revolution (jan 1, 1800 – jan 1, 1900)
Description:
The Industrial Revolution created economies that were full of machines, mechanized-manufacturing, large-scale industry and factory systems. This caused the push to drop an economy that was based on handicrafts, and agriculture. This caused significant job-loss but also caused things to be done faster. This caused people socially to become very individual and it was as if it was "every man for himself".
