  4. Industrialization • Industries / factoriesstartedusingSTEAM ENGINES • Steamengines made machines workFAST • LOTS of productscanbe made in one day • Steamenginesneeded lots of coalto power them

  5. Artisans  no machines Before the first stage of industrialization

  6. From Artisans to Industrialization
