  • The Industrial Revolution was one of the major technological, socioeconomic and cultural changes in the late 18th and early 19th century

 

  • It resulted from the transition from an economy based on manual labour to one dominated by industry and machine manufacture
 

  • The Industrial Revolution began in Britain with the introduction of steam power (fueled primarily by coal) and powered machinery (mainly in textile manufacturing)

 

  • The First Revolution merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850

 

  • The effects spread throughout Western Europe and North America, eventually affecting the rest of the world

 

  • The impact of this change on society was enormous and is often compared to the Neolithic revolution, when mankind developed agriculture and gave up its nomadic lifestyle
