The Industrial Revolution, one of the most vital periods of change in Great Britain, occurred because of the stable economic, social, and political stance of the country, as well as brought lasting effects in Britain in each of these areas. With its fast growing monopoly on ocean trade, its renewed interest in scientific discovery, and its system of national banks holding tight to its financial security, Britain was, at the time of the Industrial Revolution, ripe for change. It was the great historical epoch we call the Industrial Revolution which would forever change city life, social class structure, the power of the British nation amongst others of the world, the production of machinery, and the strength of the economy of Britain. Because of the Industrial Revolution, never again would the British have to suffer the results of no changes regarding the inequalities of the working world, nor doubt the strength of their country, yet come to view the word "technology" in a completely new way.

This is a really good text! I learned a lot of it, and i think it's good-written.
SvarSlettKeep up the good work Marita and Fredrik!
Got to agree with Carl here, good work guys! Well summarized, and straight to the point, making it easy to follow.
SvarSlettCould have used a picture or two, but really thats just a tiny detail. Otherwise, well done you two!
A good text indeed, but you should probably split some of the sentences into multiple, but shorter, sentences. Too many commas makes the text somewhat harder to read, and stagger the flow. Also, the text would probably been better if you'd written when the industrial revolution was.
SvarSlettExcept of that, it's a good and concise summary of the industrial revolution that contains alot of useful facts. I disagree with Richard that it would be benefitial with an illustration, as the text is quite short. The illustration should if so be very general, since the text itself is a general summary - and that would be both time consuming and (I guess) hard to find.
