Industrial Revolution is a period of major industrialization that took place during the late 1700s and early 1800s. This period saw the emergence of new technologies and a shift from an agrarian, handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing.

History

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and quickly spread throughout the world. The American Industrial Revolution, commonly referred to as the second Industrial Revolution, started sometime between 1820 and 1870. This period of industrialization led to an increase in the number of factories and the adoption of new technologies.

Causes

The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complex and remain a topic for debate, with some historians believing the Revolution was an outgrowth of social and institutional changes brought by the end of feudalism in Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century.

Effects

The Industrial Revolution had a profound effect on society. The abundance of manufactured goods led to a consumer culture and increased standards of living. However, it also brought about significant social and environmental changes, with an increase in population and pollution, and was a precursor to the rise of the modern industrial economy.
