Road Map to Success: The Industrial Revolution World History II For thousands of years following the rise of civilization, most people lived and worked in small farming villages. However, a series of events set in motion in the mid 1700s changed that way of life forever. Today, we call this period of change the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain. In contrast with most political revolutions, it was neither sudden nor swift. Instead, it was a long, slow, uneven process in which production shifted from simple hand tools to complex machines. New sources of power replaced human and animal power.
