Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution was a significant period of change from the late 18th to the 19th century, marked by the transition from handcraft and agrarian economies to industrialized and machine-based production. It began in Britain and spread worldwide, leading to advancements in technology, transportation, and manufacturing. This revolution transformed society, increasing urbanization as people moved to cities for work, improving living standards for some, while also creating harsh working conditions and social challenges. Ultimately, it laid the foundation for the modern economic world and significantly influenced social structures and culture.
