the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions

The Agricultural Revolution, occurring from the 18th to 19th centuries, involved major changes in farming practices, including crop rotation and selective breeding, leading to increased food production and population growth. This laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century. The Industrial Revolution marked a shift from handcrafted goods to machine-based manufacturing, fueled by innovations like the steam engine. This era transformed economies, urbanized societies, and improved living standards, but also introduced challenges like labor exploitation and environmental impact. Together, these revolutions reshaped modern life and the global economy.
