Industrial France And England :: essays research papers
Andrew Battaini                                    2/16/00 Industrial France and England      The impact Industrial Revolution was immense on the countries of France and England, which caused large changes in the social classes. Another class of peoples emerged in England and France; they were the middle classes.
