Best Answer

Answer The Industrial Revolution was a major and rapid change in manufacturing, transport and industry in general, which began around the middle of the eighteenth century. Unlike, say the American Revolution, or other political revolutions, it did not involve any major changes in government or government power. The increase in industry did lead, much later, to the "working classes" being political, and the eventual formation of the British Labour Party.
