UNIT 4
The Industrial Revolution
Standard 10.3 Students analyze the effects of the Industrial Revolution in England, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States.
Was the Industrial Revolution “progress”?
Imagine a world before factories and mass production. Things were slower, people stayed close to home and, perhaps, life was simpler. All that changed with the Industrial Revolution. It was a time of rapid, immense change which led to increased productivity and, on the other side, class division. In this unit we will be studying how this changed occurred and reflect on what effect it still has today.
