Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution is a major historical process of socio-economic and technological transformation in modern history whereby, beginning in eighteenth-century Britain and subsequently spreading to other regions, predominantly agrarian and handicraft-based economies were restructured into economies dominated by large-scale industry, mechanized manufacturing, and the factory system powered by new energy sources.
