WORK
Before the Industrial Revolution craftspeople made things in their own homes or in small workshops. The new factory system meant people had to go to a place of work where they would work for a shift.
Instead of making something from end-to-end, factory workers would each work specific machines that carried out different stages of a manufacturing process.

THE BRITISH EMPIRE
The British Empire was an empire ruled by the United Kingdom (and earlier, Great Britain, before Ireland joined the Kingdom). It was a global empire, and the largest the world had ever seen. At its largest extent in the early 1920s, it covered 13.7 million square miles (35.5 million km2) of land area, and ruled nearly 1/4 of the world's population.

ENERGY
Instead of people or animals, some industries began using water and wind as sources of energy. People started using coal for fuel instead of wood or peat. Coal gave out more heat and allowed better quality iron and steel to be made. Coal was also used to heat water to make steam for the newly invented steam engine. Oil and natural gas were used for heating and lighting.

TRANSPORT
Factories and industries needed more raw materials and made more products. These all needed to be transported. Horse-drawn transport was not fast enough and could not cope with the amount of freight that needed to be moved. Canals were introduced to deal with this issue. Canal boats could move large volumes of goods. Roads were improved, especially with the introduction of macadamised road surfaces that were stronger and smoother. Later, the invention of the steam train and railway made travel and transport much quicker, more reliable and better able to carry heavy loads.
