Answer:

Explanation:

Industrial Revolution, in modern history, the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain’s economic development from 1760 to 1840. Since Toynbee’s time the term has been more broadly applied.

what are the similarities between
the United States and the Soviet Union in the cold war?

Read the paragraph.

Before the Industrial Revolution, most goods were made by hand, in peoples's homes. Workers would buy raw
materials and complete each step in the process to make a finished product. Manufacturing by hand took a
long time, and therefore, the prices for finished goods was high. Industrialization changed all that. Machines
took over the manufacturing process. These machines were much more efficient than workers creating items
by hand. This meant that many more items could be produced, drastically reducing their price, and making
them more affordable for consumers.

Which would be the best example to use to support the information in this body paragraph?

O The price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800.
O The price of shoes doubled from 1700 to 1800.
