The Industrial Revolution in the 19th century has caused a great improvement of the technology.There were also an increase in employment in the mills and factories. During that time, important inventions like spinnng machine, steam-engine, railway trains& steamships were invented.The steamships allow the Europeans to sail to the east to obtain raw materials such as tin, and find markets to sell their goods.The spinning machine also changed the way goods were produced and also shortened the production time greatly.
Without Industrail Revolution,the lives of the people would be alot harder compared to now as the amount of things they produced were small but yet took a long time.As for travellers or traders,their markets would be very small and they would waste alot of time finding raw materials as they would take a long time to travel from one place to another.
